Ingredients
- 12 oz Linguini
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 Zest of a lemon
- 1 Juice of a lemon
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz Smoked salmon, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp Capers, drained
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 to taste Salt
- 0 to taste Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the cream to warm for 2-3 minutes, then add the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 8
Gently fold in the smoked salmon and capers, being careful not to break the salmon apart too much.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges on the side if desired.
