Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for smoked salmon that is firm and has a deep, smoky flavor. Use a good quality fusilli pasta and a creamy sauce made with real cream and Parmesan cheese.
Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
Don't overcook the smoked salmon: Smoked salmon is delicate and can easily become overcooked. Add it to the sauce at the end of cooking and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Creamy Fusilli with Smoked Salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
