  1. Delicious. We had some extra smoked salmon and this made a great meal. Quite heavy and I used about half of the recommended cream cheese. I substituted 1 pressed garlic clove for the powder and added some broccoli.
     
  2. This turned out to be pretty nice - The smoked salmon crumbled in the cream sauce is a delicious combination and tempers some of the smoky taste that I don't like in eating smoked salmon raw. The spices are good here, although I used minced garlic cooked in from the beginning instead of the garlic powder. And also added a lot of black pepper. The dish is LOVELY with the red peppers roasted in the oven beforehand and then tossed on top with steamed broccoli. I felt the cream cheese wasn't really necessary because the sauce was plenty rich and the creamcheesy-taste was a little strong. Next time I'll cut that. That's a personal taste thing, of course. Thank you for the recipe.
     
  3. Creamy deliciousness! Made this tonight with a few tweeks. It was a family hit!!! Love
     
  4. This review is solely based on the sauce flavor. To be honest, I'm not sure how I felt about the whole meal -- a bit fishy for me -- but I'm basing my review on the flavor of the sauce before the fishiness (which was a product of the salmon not the recipe) I made a few alterations to the recipe. I used only 4 oz of the cream cheese and about 75% of the parm called for. Also instead of 1/2 cup of milk, I used just shy of 1 cup of heavy cream. These changes made a tasty sauce. As the recipe was written, it would have been far too.. too.. cream cheesy for our tastes. Sometimes less really is more. I didn't have a tomato on hand, but I used about 1/2 can of petite diced tomatoes, drained, and that really was a nice touch. For the salmon, I used about 5 oz. of smoked salmon. I found that a bit too fishy for my tastes but since the amount of salmon for the recipe wasn't noted in the directions, the fishiness didn't detract from the amount of starts given. All in all this was a good pasta meal. But I'm not sure if it was good enough that I'll make it again.
     
  5. AWESOME!!!! Just made and ate it, wow... DELICIOUS, but very cheesy... I will make it next time with half the cream cheese and be sure to rinse the fettuccine noodles before serving so they don't all stick together. LOVE IT!!

  2. Even with some significant substitutions, this turned out FABULOUS. and so easy! I used cottage cheese instead of cream cheese, and chopped onions instead of peppers/tomato/mushroom. I also used fresh garlic, butter instead of margarine, and added some salt & pepper. I'm adding this to my meal rotation!

  4. This is fantastic. Since the directions were a little vague and to suit my own tastes, I made a few minor changes. I used fresh pressed garlic instead of powder, butter instead of margarine, evaporated milk and water for the milk, and fresh pasta instead of dry. I sliced the mushrooms and chopped the pepper and grilled it all on an indoor grill for just a few minutes. When the pasta was cooked, I drained the pasta and poured the veggies over to drain them, too. I did not boil the pasta until the sauce was almost done! Then, I tossed it all together. The sauce was a little thick so I would probably use more milk/water next time. Make it the way I did and I promise you will be tasting heaven!
