I first made this hot smoked salmon with creamy pasta and pine nuts recipe when it first appeared in the March 2008 BBC Good Food magazine! We both love hot smoked salmon and the fact that it's so quick to make and is really full of flavour makes it a winner in our house.
Tips
- The original recipe says to use trofie pasta which we have used, but we think this recipe also works well with fusilli, penne or farfalle – either fresh or dried. The recipe is made even quicker when using fresh pasta!
- The original recipe also says to serve along with a watercress salad, however, we like to have some green vegetables, eg: courgettes, green beans and/or asparagus.
- Don't be put off with 'creamy' being in the name of this hot smoked salmon with creamy pasta and pine nuts recipe...if you use a lower calorie cream like Elmlea, you'll still get all the flavour without having all the calories of full fat double cream.
- Some crusty bread is also nice to have, if you fancy! The link to our bread recipes is below.
- The recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
- I tend to make half the recipe, which serves 3. We have it for dinner one night for the 2 of us and are left with a full portion that can be split in 2 to have for lunch the next day.
