Creamy Smoked Salmon and Leek Pasta
These Creamy Smoked Salmon and Leek Pasta make a hearty and tasty meal, particularly comforting after a road trip on a rather cold day! Happy Saturday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 cups short (whole-wheat) pasta (like fusilli or penne)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
a medium Garden Leek
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 1/2 lemons
1/2 cup double cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
60 grams/2 ounces Smoked Salmon
Stir fusilli into a large pot of salted boiling water, and cook, according to package’s directions, generally 9 to 11 minutes until al dente.
Thoroughly rinse Garden Leek under cold water.
In a large, deep skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat.
Thinly slice Garden Leek. Once the butter is just foaming, add Leek the skillet, and cook, about 3 minutes until softened. Season with dill; cook, 1 minute.
Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the lemons, and cook, a couple of minutes more.
Finally stir in the double cream, and simmer until slightly reduced. Season with black pepper.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain quickly, saving about 1/3 cup of its starchy cooking water. Add pasta to the Leek sauce, gradually stirring in cooking water, cooking until it is beautifully coated.
Cut Smoked Salmon into chunks, and stir into the pasta.
Serve Creamy Smoked Salmon and Leek Pasta immediately, with a glass of chilled dry white wine, like Chablis, if you're in Burgundy!

I've already posted this before but here's a cleaner recipe! Also, if you don't have heavy cream, use 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 3 tablespoons of milk. Use whatever spices and in whatever amount you think will taste good, and add a bit a cayenne or red pepper flakes if you want it spicier.
This is for one person; adjust ingredients depending on how many people you're serving.
