Yield 4-6 servings
My sister-in-law makes a mean version of this and I love the tender, smoky flavor and texture of the salmon mixed in. The best part for me (and hopefully all of you) is that there are no sauces to make or any other "extras."
Simply cook the pasta and add the rest of the ingredients. It's that easy!
Ingredients
1 pkg fresh or dried pasta (choose spinach if possible) --or gluten-free if needed!
½ red onion, sliced thinly
1 small pkg crème fraȋche
1 pkg smoked salmon, sliced into thin strips
½ bunch dill, rinsed and roughly chopped (reserve a few Tablespoons for garnish)
Salt and black pepper to taste, begin with a pinch of each, but this dish will like a little more black pepper than salt
Instructions
- Begin by cooking pasta in salted water per package instructions minus one minute so it is al dente.
- Once pasta is done, drain and reserve 1 cup cooking liquid. Return the pasta to the pan with cooking liquid plus red onion, crème fraȋche (begin with half the container then add more as needed), thinly-sliced salmon, dill and black pepper. *Reserve the salt until you’ve tasted, then add as needed!
- Toss everything together over low heat for 3 minutes, then serve.
- Garnish with a bit of leftover dill.
