Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I have the perfect dinner for two, salmon fettuccine with tomato cream sauce.
This pasta is super creamy with a touch of tomato tang, plus it’s super simple to make, so you won’t have to spend all night in the kitchen.
The sauce is a nice blush sauce, made with tomato, cream, and Greek yogurt to thicken and add richness.
Save yourself from the crowds and hullabaloo of going out to a restaurant and make this for your Valentine (or Galentine) this Sunday instead!
Serve it up with a glass of wine, and you’ve got yourself the perfect meal, a pretty pink pasta sauce, with salmon and peas.
