A creamy and dreamy smoked salmon linguine that combines fresh flavors with healthy ingredients, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g linguine
- Butter, for frying
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 200ml half-fat crème fraîche
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 25g fresh Parmesan, grated
- 75g sliced smoked salmon, cut into strips
- Few wild rocket leaves, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to the packet instructions in salted boiling water until al dente.
- Meanwhile, melt a little butter in a pan over medium heat and cook the crushed garlic until softened and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the crème fraîche, lemon zest, and grated Parmesan to the pan. Cook for 1 minute and then remove from heat.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of cooking water, and toss it with the sauce and strips of smoked salmon. If the sauce feels too thick, add a spoonful of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
