Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil, then add the linguine and penne pasta, cooking them until they reach a tender yet firm texture, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid for later use.
- In the meantime, melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat, allowing it to become fragrant and bubbly.
- Carefully add the smoked salmon to the skillet, cooking it until it transforms to a light pink hue, which should take approximately 2 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Next, stir in the cream and tomato paste, allowing the mixture to heat through for about 2 minutes, which will meld the flavors beautifully.
- Incorporate 2 teaspoons of fresh dill and a pinch of cayenne pepper into the sauce, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Gently mix the cooked pasta into the sauce, adding the reserved pasta cooking liquid by the tablespoon as needed to achieve your desired level of moisture in the dish.
- Finally, divide the delectable pasta among four shallow bowls, garnishing with the remaining teaspoon of fresh dill, and serve immediately for a delightful meal that’s bursting with flavor and elegance.
This Pasta With Smoked Salmon, Cream, and Dill is a dish that not only brings together rich textures and flavors but also allows for a beautiful presentation, making it perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family dinner or an intimate gathering. Enjoy every creamy, savory bite!
