Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Pasta (linguine or fettuccine)
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 100 ml Pasta water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 100 ml of pasta water before draining, then set the pasta aside.
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just to warm the salmon without overcooking it.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat evenly. Stir in the chopped fresh dill and grated Parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well and let the pasta absorb some of the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional dill, Parmesan, and a fresh lemon wedge if desired.
