Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Tagliatelle pasta
- 150 g Smoked salmon
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 30 g Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic and chop the smoked salmon into small strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the smoked salmon to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the salmon through.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Add the drained tagliatelle to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the pasta. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan if preferred. Pair with a crisp white wine or sparkling water for a refreshing meal.
