Fettuccine with Salmon and Lemony Cream Sauce
Ingredients
- One 9-ounce package Giovanni Rana Fettuccine

- Juice and zest of half a large lemon, divided
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 3-4 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and lemon juice, raise the heat reduce until 2 tablespoons of liquid remains, 4-5 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until a thick sauce has formed, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and keep warm.
Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions and drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
