Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Egg Tagliatelle | 320g |
| Smoked Salmon | 400g |
| Fresh Liquid Cream | 200g |
| Brandy | 50g |
| Yellow Onions | ½ |
| Fresh Parsley | to taste |
| Extra Virgin Olive Oil | to taste |
| Black Pepper | to taste |
Instructions
-
Start by boiling a large pot of salted water to cook the pasta. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the egg tagliatelle and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
-
While the pasta cooks, slice the smoked salmon into thin strips. Finely chop the parsley for garnish. Set both aside.
-
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it softens and turns golden, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Once the onions are soft, add the smoked salmon strips to the pan. Let them cook gently for 2-3 minutes until they warm through and release their rich, smoky aroma.
-
Add the fresh liquid cream and brandy to the pan with the salmon. Stir everything together and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly and absorb the flavors.
-
By now, the pasta should be cooked. Drain the tagliatelle, reserving a bit of the cooking water. Add the pasta directly to the pan with the creamy salmon sauce.
-
Toss the pasta in the sauce, making sure each strand is coated with the creamy goodness. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
-
Return the pan to the heat for a minute or so, stirring continuously to allow the sauce to come together and coat the pasta.
-
Once everything is well combined, remove from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta and finish with a generous grind of black pepper to taste.
-
Serve your creamy smoked salmon tagliatelle immediately, garnished with a little extra parsley if desired. Enjoy the rich, smoky flavor combined with the velvety cream sauce.
