CREAMY PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON, ARUGULA AND LEMON
One selling point of smoked salmon is that you don't need to do much to it to get it on the table. Fold it on top of toast and dab it with sour cream and you have the lazy man's cocktail party. But take the salmon one or two steps further and you break out of the cliché. Salmon's buttery fat and smoke serve as useful flavoring elements. In this easy 15-minute meal, it's chopped up and used as a counterweight in pasta tossed with full-fat Greek yogurt, arugula, fresh dill, lemon zest and juice. It is, at once, lively and comforting.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salty water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta. While it cooks, combine in a large serving bowl the yogurt, salmon, garlic, lemon zest and juice, arugula and dill. Just before the pasta is finished cooking, scoop out 1/2 cup pasta water and reserve.
- Drain the pasta and slide it into the bowl. Using two spoons, toss the pasta and sauce as you would a salad. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Season to taste with salt and grind a generous amount of pepper on top.

Steps:
- You can either steam or roast the salmon, depending if you want to turn the oven on or not. To roast, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and roast for 12 mins until opaque and the flesh starts to flake when pressed. To steam, place the fillets skin-side down in a steamer, and steam over a pan of simmering water for 8-10 mins until cooked.
- While the salmon is cooking, boil the pasta for 10 mins until al dente, then drain, reserving 100ml of the pasta water.
- Heat the oil on a medium heat in a wide frying pan and fry the shallot for 6 mins until softened, but not turning golden. Add the garlic and fry for a minute more until fragrant. Add the wine, bubble for a few minutes until reduced by half, then add the cream and season well. Bring to a very gentle simmer.
- Flake the cooked salmon into big chunky pieces, leaving the skin behind. Add to the sauce with the cooked pasta. Add the lemon zest, a squeeze of the juice and most of the dill. Add a splash of the pasta water to the sauce to coat the pasta if you need to. Toss gently to keep the salmon in big pieces. Check the seasoning, if using double cream you may need a squeeze more lemon juice. Grind over some black pepper and scatter over the remaining dill. Serve with a green salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of smoked salmon: Hot-smoked salmon has a stronger flavor, while cold-smoked salmon is milder. Use the type that you prefer.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Smoked salmon is already cooked, so you just need to heat it through. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen spinach if you don't have any fresh on hand.
- Don't overcrowd the pasta: When you cook the pasta, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around. Overcrowding the pasta will make it sticky and clumpy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use in this recipe will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Romano, for a strong flavor, or a soft cheese, such as cream cheese or ricotta, for a milder flavor.
Conclusion:
This creamy smoked salmon pasta with spinach and tomato is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover smoked salmon. The combination of smoked salmon, spinach, and tomato is delicious, and the creamy sauce is the perfect complement. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
