CREAMY SMOKED SALMON PASTA WITH SPINACH AND TOMATO
Thick and creamy sauce with a touch of heat and brimming with smokiness from the salmon and freshness from the spinach and tomatoes. I usually make this using a double batch of Recipe #216441 instead of dry fettuccine.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add pasta and cook for 10 to 15 min or until al dente; drain.
- Meanwhile melt the butter in a large skillet and add onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent. Reduce heat to low and add in milks, cheeses, and basil and stir over low heat until smooth and creamy about 10 to 15 minutes. Add smoked salmon and spinach and toss until heated through. Add cooked pasta and tomatoes and toss to combine. Add a bit of starchy pasta water if needed to make the sauce a good consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
CREAMY TOMATO-SMOKED SALMON PASTA
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt butter and olive oil in a pot over medium heat and cook shallots until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and 1/2 the juice. Season with Italian herbs, salt, and white pepper. Cover pot and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and puree contents using a stick blender until smooth. Stir in cream.
- Return pot to stove and bring to a boil. Add white wine, smoked salmon, and sherry. Season with salt, white pepper, and basil and heat until warmed through but do not boil.
- Serve spaghetti with tomato-smoked salmon sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Short pasta shapes like penne, rigatoni, or fusilli work best for this recipe, as they hold the sauce well.
- Use good quality smoked salmon: Look for smoked salmon that is firm and flaky, with a deep pink color. Avoid salmon that is dry or has a strong fishy smell.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Smoked salmon is already cooked, so it's important not to overcook it in the pasta sauce. Add it to the sauce at the end of the cooking time and stir gently to combine.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other hard cheeses like Asiago or Romano. For a creamier sauce, use mascarpone or ricotta cheese.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or dill add a pop of flavor and color to the dish. Stir them in just before serving.
Conclusion:
Creamy tomato smoked salmon pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for busy families. It's also a great way to use up leftover smoked salmon. With its rich and creamy sauce, tender pasta, and smoky salmon, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
