Ingredients

12 ounces spinach fettuccine pasta
1 (14.75 ounce) can canned salmon, drained, liquid reserved
1 ½ cups milk
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 ½ cups fresh sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Cook pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain. Drain the can of salmon over a 2 cup measure. Add enough milk to make 1 3/4 cups.
Meanwhile, prepare sauce. In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; saute until onion is tender. Reduce heat to low, and stir in flour. Remove from heat.
Stir into cooked vegetables, the milk mixture and wine. Return pan to heat, and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 minutes. Break salmon into chunks; stir into the sauce. Stir in Parmesan cheese, parsley, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and heat though. Serve over hot pasta.
