- 4-500 g spaghetti
- 25 g butter
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 250 ml whipping cream (38% fat)
- 1 lemon, finely grated zest and juice
- 80 g parmesan, finely grated
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
- 250 g fresh salmon, cut into small cubes
- Pasta cooking water
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta until al dente.Meanwhile, start on the sauce.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the garlic for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cream, finely grated lemon zest, lemon juice and parmesan, pour in a little of the pasta cooking water too, season with freshly ground pepper and let the sauce simmer gently while the pasta finishes cooking.
- Stir the chives into the sauce, then add the pasta and the salmon cubes. Toss well, and turn the heat up slightly if needed so the salmon gets a little more heat.
- At the same time, adjust the consistency with pasta cooking water, and keep tossing until the sauce thickens and clings to the pasta.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper before serving, and top with a few extra chives, a little parmesan or more freshly ground pepper if you like.
