About the Recipe
This is a favorite quick and easy meal that adds fish to our diet and is ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
Ingredients
300g pasta such as tagliatelle or spaghetti
350g smoked salmon
1 large leek
juice of 1 lemon
250ml double cream (1 US cup)
25g butter
Preparation
Step 1
Put the pasta in boiling water and cook according to the cooking instructions (typically 11 minutes).
Step 2
Finely chopped the leek. Gently saute the leek in the butter for 2 - 3 minutes so it’s soft but not browned.
Step 3
Pour in the lemon juice and boil rapidly to reduce the liquid by about half. Add the smoked salmon and cream and turn off the heat.
Step 4
Once the pasta is cooked drain it retaining a little of the pasta cooking water. Toss into the sauce until gently coated. If it needs the extra pasta water to be fully coated add it a little at a time. Now it’s ready to serve.
