SMOKED SALMON PASTA



Smoked Salmon Pasta image

This is an awesome pasta that is quick to make and very satisfying. I first copied a recipe from Bon Appetit and then combined it with several recipes from my cookbooks. Over the years I have tweeked it to the recipe it is today. I have used fresh salmon in place of smoked salmon when I have not been able to get smoked salmon, and it was very good as well. Served with a salad it makes a very lovely meal.

CREAMY PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON, ARUGULA AND LEMON



Creamy Pasta With Smoked Salmon, Arugula and Lemon image

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.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
3/4 pound casarecci, gemelli or gigli pasta
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 pound smoked salmon, cut into bite-size pieces
1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped
Zest and juice of 1 Meyer lemon (or a regular lemon)
2 cups packed arugula
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Coarsely ground black pepper

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.

ONE-POT SPRING PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON



One-Pot Spring Pasta with Smoked Salmon image

Adding asparagus and frozen peas directly to the boiling pasta during the last couple minutes of cooking means everything for this seasonal, fresh dinner can be made in one pot. Smoked salmon adds a nice, rich saltiness (and extra protein!) without any extra work for the cook-just drape the slices over each bowl before serving.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz. linguine or other long pasta
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb.), trimmed, cut into 1"-1½" pieces
1 (10-oz.) bag frozen peas
4 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 cup sour cream, divided
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more
6 oz. smoked salmon, sliced into ½" strips
1 cup basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 7 minutes (or 2 minutes less than package instructions). Add asparagus and continue to cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add peas and continue to cook until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Drain pasta, asparagus, and peas together, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
  • Transfer pasta and vegetables to a large bowl. Add butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 tsp. pepper, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Toss, adding reserved pasta cooking liquid bit by bit as needed, until a smooth sauce coats pasta (you might not need all the liquid).
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with salmon, basil, and remaining 1/2 cup sour cream. Season with lots of pepper.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality smoked salmon. Look for salmon that is firm and has a deep pink color.
  • If you can't find smoked salmon, you can use regular salmon and smoke it yourself. This is a great way to get a more intense smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. It should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality pasta. A sturdy pasta, like penne or rigatoni, will hold up well to the sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add vegetables, such as broccoli or asparagus, to the pasta. You can also use different types of cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago.

Conclusion:

Smoked salmon pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, smoky flavor and creamy sauce, this pasta is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give smoked salmon pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
