Ingredients
You can use any shaped dried pasta for this dish, but spiral shapes such as Buitoni's Riccioli seem to suit the creamy sauce particularly well.
- 175g (6oz) pasta shapes
- 15g (1/2oz) butter
- 10ml (2tsp) oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 150ml (1/4pt) dry white wine
- 100g (4oz) sugar snap peas, sliced lengthways
- 150ml (1/4pt) double cream
- 100g (4oz) smoked salmon cut into thin strips
- 15ml (1tbsp) fresh chopped dill, to garnish
Method
- Cook the pasta in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water, or according to the instructions on the packet.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a frying pan and fry the shallots for 5 mins. Add the wine and boil rapidly until the liquid is reduced by two-thirds.
- Add the sugar snap peas to the pan and cook for 1 min. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the cream. Return the pan to a gentle heat and simmer for 2-3 mins until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Drain the pasta well and stir into the sauce with the smoked salmon. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and divide between 2 serving bowls. Garnish the smoked salmon pasta with the chopped dill and serve immediately.
