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!
