EASY SMOKED SALMON PASTA



Easy Smoked Salmon Pasta image

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!

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 ounce smoked salmon, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
3 tablespoons milk

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.

Yield Makes 4 open face sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package Creme de Brie spread
1 tsp finely minced garlic
1 package sliced smoked salmon
2 english muffins, split and toasted
Sliced black olives, capers

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. Look for fish that is firm and has a bright, vibrant color.
  • Use a clean, sharp knife to cut the salmon into thin slices. This will help ensure even cooking.

  • Smoke the salmon at a low temperature (around 225 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2-3 hours, or until the fish is cooked through.
