4 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced

In a large pot of boiling salted water ~ cook fettuccine until al dente. Drain, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter. Stir in garlic and onion, and sauté, stirring often, for 2 minutes, until
fragrant. Add the tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until softened and beginning to thicken.
Stir in the smoked salmon, cream, and vodka; simmer for 5 minutes, or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Gently fold in
cooked pasta and pepper. Garnish with a rosette of smoked salmon or caviar.
CHEF'S SUGGESTION: If a saltier taste is desired, add the smoked salmon at the same time as the tomatoes
