Ingredients

• 300 g Tagliatelle pasta
• 150 g Smoked salmon
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly cracked)
• 30 g Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic and chop the smoked salmon into small strips or bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Add the smoked salmon to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the salmon through.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 7

Add the drained tagliatelle to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the pasta. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan if preferred. Pair with a crisp white wine or sparkling water for a refreshing meal.
