My sister found this recipe while surfing the web. She knows my DS loves smoked salmon, and creamy pasta dishes, so why not have them both! Ingredients:
12 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 whole shallot (thinly sliced) |
4 roma tomatoes (seeded and chopped) |
2/3 cup whipping cream |
1 pinch ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped,or 1-2 tsp dried dill weed) |
1/3 cup vodka |
6 ounces smoked salmon (cut into strips) |
white pepper |
1 sprig fresh dill (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium-low heat.
2. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until soft but not brown (about 3 minutes).
3. Stir in chopped tomatoes, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add cream, nutmeg, chopped dill and vodka. Increase heat to high and bring to a full boil. Boil for 1 minute.
5. Add pasta to sauce and mix lightly using 2 spoons, until pasta is well coated.
6. Remove from heat.
7. Add salmon and mix lightly.
8. Season to taste with white pepper and garnish with dill springs.
