Smoked Salmon Pasta
This smoked salmon pasta is a simple meal that creates lotsa flavor by easily tossing together spaghetti and smoked salmon with a lemon cream sauce. Did we mention it's on the table in less than half an hour?
Ingredients
- 7 ounces spaghetti
- 2 1/4 ounces smoked salmon
- Zest of 1 lemon, grated (about 1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh chives
- 4 to 6 tablespoons heavy cream, more as needed
- Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt
Instructions
- Pull out a large saucepan and fill with at least 8 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boiling and add salt. Drop in your pasta and cook according to the package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, slice the salmon into thin slivers.
- Drain the pasta well and return it to the saucepan over low heat.
- Add the salmon, lemon zest, chives, and 4 tablespoons cream to the pasta and stir well to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Be careful here, as smoked salmon can be quite salty in itself, so you'll want to sneak a taste before seasoning. Serve immediately.
