A new try out on this lovely Pasta Tuesday. I must admit I wanted to prepare this combination from a long time, but never found time or inspiration to do it. Eventually, I grabbed the pasta pack from the pantry and prepared a quick smoked salmon sauce to go with it. Check it out!
Nero di Seppia linguine with smoked salmon
Servings: 2
Calories: 450kcal
Ingredients
- 140 g linguine nero di seppia I used Morelli's
- 100 g smoked salmon
- 350 g tomato passata
- 50 g red pepper paste
- 2 small onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp capers
- juice and zest from half a lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and finely chop the onions and the garlic cloves. Add them to a deep pan and leave to warm up for a minute while stirring continuously. Add 50 ml of water, season with a bit of salt and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, boil the pasta according to the package instructions. Tip: use an electric kettle to boil the water faster, then pour the boiling water to the pot you want to boil the pasta in.
- Add the tomato passata, the pepper paste, the lemon juice and zest and leave to simmer for 15 minutes. Stir from time to time.
- Add the smoked salmon cut in smaller chunks (no need to finely chop it, it will fall apart anyway when cooked). Add the capers and leave to simmer for 5 more minutes.
