Ingredients
Creamy Smoked-Salmon Pasta
- Ingredients
- 2 shallots
- 125 grams Smoked salmon
- 6 stalks Dill
- 300 grams Whole Grain Pasta (such as farfalle)
- salt
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 50 milliliters dry white wine (or fish stock, from a jar)
- 150 milliliters Vegetable broth
- 1 Tbsp Cultured butter
- 100 grams Sour cream
- ½ small lemon
- salt
- peppers
- 40 grams Salmon caviar
Peel shallots and chop finely. Cut the salmon into thin strips.
Rinse dill, shake dry, pluck fronds and coarsely chop.
Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the shallots until translucent.
Pour wine or broth into pan and bring to a quick boil over high heat. Whisk in the butter.
Add salmon pieces with sour cream to pan and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Squeeze 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice and reserve.
Drain the pasta, reserving 75 ml (approximately 5 tablespoons) of the cooking water. In a large bowl, gently toss pasta and cooking water with the salmon mixture. Season with salt, pepper and the lemon juice to taste. Garnish with dill and salmon roe and serve.
