Preparation

Cut fillets into serving size portions.

In a large covered skillet, simmer fillets gently in milk for 5 to 10 min, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Carefully transfer fish to a platter and keep warm; reserve milk.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan; add flour and cook for 2 min. Gradually add reserved hot milk; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add white wine, Parmesan cheese, chives, salt, pepper and red or green bell pepper; heat an additional 10 min.

Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in boiling, salted water until al dente; drain. Arrange fish and sauce over pasta.
