Grilled Salmon with alfredo pasta

  

This is my first time trying alfredo pasta. Wasnt very successful, the sauce came out a bit curdled, maybe next time i should add a bit of water and simmer less.

The recipe was from:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/alfredo-sauce-2/?scale=2&ismetric=1

Ingredients:

+ butter

+ cream

+ parmesan cheese

+ parsley

+ crushed garlic

And  I added  a bit of salt and pepper as well.

Initially I wanted to cook the salmon as part of the alfredo, but changed my mind in case it doesnt turn out well. It was a good call, because Mr Fluff was making faces at my alfredo when he realised that there was cheese in it.

He said it was quite nice, but I dont think he enjoyed it very much. I guess this one is not going to be a repeat - since I am not exactly a fan of Alfredo either.
