Ingredients

1 cups Whipping cream
1/2 cups Bottled clam juice
1 tablespoons Wondra flour
1 Green Onion; chopped

Directions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the 12 oz fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2
While the pasta cooks, bring the whipping cream, clam juice, and Wondra flour to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently with a whisk to prevent lumps.
3
Once the sauce begins to simmer and thicken slightly, add the drained fettuccine to the skillet. Toss constantly for about 2 minutes until the sauce coats the pasta evenly. If too thick, add reserved pasta water a splash at a time.
4
Remove the skillet from heat. Add the 6 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon, chopped green onions, 1/4 cup fresh dillweed, and 1 tablespoon drained capers.
5
Gently toss to combine and wilt the salmon slightly. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste (be cautious with salt as the salmon and capers are salty).
6
Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
