Ingredients
You will need the following:
- 350g tagliatelle, or pasta of your choice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 5 tbsp crème fraîche, sour cream, or heavy cream
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 200g smoked salmon, torn into strips
- 30g fresh chives or dill, finely chopped
- 70g bag rocket, to serve
Method
Here’s what you need to do:
- Start by bringing a pan of salted water to a boil and cooking the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes until softened but not coloured.
- Stir in the crème fraîche, lemon juice, grated Parmesan, and 2 ladles of pasta cooking water. Allow the sauce to bubble gently for 1 minute, being careful not to let it boil too vigorously.
- Drain the tagliatelle and add it to the sauce in the frying pan. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to a creamy consistency that coats the pasta.
- Stir through the torn smoked salmon and chopped chives, then season with black pepper to taste.
- Divide the pasta between 4 bowls, garnish with lemon zest, and top with a handful of rocket.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this quick, flavourful seafood pasta dish!
