Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Green spinach linguini
- 200 grams White linguini
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 200 grams Fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green spinach linguini and white linguini to the pot, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
While the pasta cooks, thinly slice the mushrooms and cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and softened. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Add the smoked salmon pieces and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice as needed.
Add the cooked linguini into the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Green and White Linguini with Smoked Salmon and Mushroom Sauce!
