A pasta dish with a different twist. Smoked salmon in a cream sauce with parmesan cheese. I think of this as a first course, but to make it a main course, double the amount of salmon and add some extra cream and cheese. Read more . I like pappardelle, but any noodle will do. Ingredients:
1/4lb smoked salmon, finely chopped |
1/2 lb pappardelle (or your favorite pasta) |
1 tbsp olive oil |
1 tbsp butter |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 clove garlic, finely chopped |
5 tbsp cream |
20 basil leaves, shredded |
salt and pepper |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions.
2. While the water is heating, put a frying pan over medium high heat and add the butter and olive oil. When warm, add the onions and garlic and some salt and pepper, cook until tender, but don't let them take on color. When tender, add the cream and the basil. Let simmer till the pasta is almost done.
3. Add the salmon a minute or so before the pasta is done. Mix thoroughly.
4. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Mix.
5. Sprinkle some parmesan and mix again.
6. Plate and sprinkle with more parmesan.
