Salmon Pasta
Pasta with Salmon,mascarpone & lemon
INGREDIENTS
- 300 grams (Penne rigate or fusilli) 10.5oz
- 300 grams Salmon 10.5oz
- 2-3 TBSP Mascarpone cheese
- 1 Garlic clove
- Fresh parsley
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh organic lemon
- ½ - 1 tsp Dried chilli or fresh chilli
INSTRUCTIONS
- Salmon pasta starts with the key ingredient: Salmon! Remove the skin.
- Pour 5L water into a large pot and put it on the stove at a medium heat – this is for your pasta.
- Put the pan on your stove at a medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Crush the garlic clove (or thinly slice) and add it to the pan and leave to cook on a medium-low heat for approx. 20 seconds.
- Add the salmon to your pan and gently turn it every so often so all sides cook well.
- While the salmon is cooking, add the chilli,and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.
- Mix the salmon pasta ingredients together gently and allow to cook through, usually between 5-7 minutes.
- While the salmon is cooking, add the rock salt to your pot of boiling water before putting the pasta in too.
- At this point, cut the lemon in half and squeeze in as much fresh juice as you can from one half (add more if you love the citrus flavour!).
- Mix these ingredients in the pan so that the flavors can combine.
- The salmon should be cooked by this point, so break down approx ½ of the salmon pieces (using a fork) in your pan so that they are “pulled” or “shredded”. Try to pick the pieces that have already started to break down or don’t look as good.
- Add a generous amount of lemon zest to your salmon pasta sauce before finally adding more freshly squeezed lemon then mix well.
- Once the pasta is ready, collect up to ½ mug full of pasta water and add it to your pan. Mix and allow to gently simmer.
- Now strain the pasta and add it to the pan.
- Put the stove on a slightly lower heat and add 3 heaped tablespoons of mascarpone cheese. Stir this until it melts into the pan and mix it through.
- Add another generous amount of parsley to your salmon pasta and if you can, toss the pan to create the creamiest salmon pasta possible!
- Enjoy!
