EASY SMOKED SALMON PASTA
A really quick, easy sauce for 'pasta asciutta,' which means 'dry pasta.' It's not a dish over-loaded with sauce, but one that appreciates the simple smokiness of good smoked salmon. Serve sprinkled with some Parmesan or garnished with some parsley. This is not a creamy, thick sauce. Just one that really brings out the simple, yet fantastic flavors of smoked salmon. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir the linguine into the water and return to a boil. Cook uncovered until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the water.
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat; when the mixture begins to bubble, add the shallots and cook until softened. Stir the salmon, cream cheese, and milk into the shallot mixture. Mix the reserved water from the pasta into the mixture. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the pasta to serve.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS
Another classic combination, this dish makes people think you went to a lot of trouble. Actually it's quite simple. Any shape of pasta works, but I prefer a small noodle such as shells or bowties. Despite what an Italian might otherwise recommend, I like to serve this dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

BOW-TIE PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON (FARFALLE AL SALMONE AFFUNICATO
Fabulous, quick and tasty pasta dish. I make this often and my husband inhales this (it is a sight to behold, let me tell you). Serve with a big loaf of garlic bread and your guests will be in heaven. It serves 4 people (well, normal people- my husband can eat more than half of this himself) but you can easily double for a larger crowd.

- Add the cream, tomato sauce, basil, salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a boil and simmer, reducing until it is thick, about 8 minutes or so.
- Serve over pasta and enjoy! Pass the grated cheese on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Bow tie pasta, also known as farfalle, is a good choice for this recipe because it holds the sauce well and is easy to eat.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Use high-quality smoked salmon. Look for smoked salmon that is firm and has a deep pink color. Avoid smoked salmon that is dry or has a slimy texture.
- Use full-fat cream cheese. This will help to create a rich and creamy sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste until you reach the desired flavor.
- Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Bow tie pasta with smoked salmon and cream cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, smoky salmon, and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta recipe, give this one a try!
