  • Add in the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat it with the sauce. Add in the salmon and lightly toss again. If the sauce thickens more than you like, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to thin it out. If the sauce is too thin, let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes until it thickens.
