How to make Smoked Salmon Pasta
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and 1 Tbsp of the sun dried tomato oil together. Once fully melted and bubbling, add flour and stir into a paste. Let mixture bubble, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add tortellini, cook according to package instructions. (Usually for 8-10 min.)
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp of sun dried tomato oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, zucchini, and peppers. Saute for 2 min. Add mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. Saute for another 5 min.
- Add parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar, and cottage cheeses to white sauce, stir until melted and smooth.
- Add smoked salmon to vegetables. Cook only until heated throughout.
- Dish out tortellini, pour cheese sauce, smoked salmon, and vegetables on top.
