Instructions
White Sauce: In a saucepan bring milk, nutmeg, and cayenne to a boil; remove from heat. In another saucepan, combine flour and olive oil over medium heat; cook, stirring, until blended. Gradually add hot milk mixture, whisking constantly; cook, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan; set aside.
In a saucepan combine leeks, non-alcoholic wine, shallots, and garlic; bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until vegetables soften about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente.
Stir white sauce and salmon into leek mixture; cook just until salmon is barely done, about 3 minutes.
Toss drained pasta with salmon and sauce mixture. Add the dill and pepper and toss again until well combined. Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or fresh salad.
