This was absolutely DELICIOUS. I was nervous making it, it seems like every time I make a big deal about making a special dinner it always turns out so-so, but this was FANTASTIC! The only thing I noticed was that after I was done making the sauce I tasted it and the texture was a little gritty - i added some half & half and it took away the texture, and by the time i was ready to serve it, it was a little dry with the noodles in it, so i added just a bit of water and it was perfect. Thanks for posting!

OMG this was soooo good!! I truly love to cook and when I read this recipe - I knew I had to try it. Let me tell all of you - this is totally awesome!! Really not at all as complicated as it seems. Look in your spice rack - you have all these ingredients. Followed it to a "T' (just a little extra basil cause DH is a fanatic). Wasn't clear as to the cooking of the salmon so i baked it on a buttered cookie sheet for the time specified and broiled it for a minute or so after (watch it closely) to get a slightly blackened effect - marvelous!!. A definite repeat for me. TY so very much for posting ----- excellent - looking forward to many more from you!!
