Ingredients
70g salted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3 shallots, finely chopped
150g frozen peas, defrosted
100g smoked salmon, chopped
100ml double cream
500g trompetti
Salt and paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
3 shallots, finely chopped
150g frozen peas, defrosted
100g smoked salmon, chopped
100ml double cream
500g trompetti
Salt and paprika
Preparation
1. Melt the butter and oil in a large frying pan and gently shallow-fry the shallots until golden. Add the peas and cook for about 3 minutes.
2. Add the salmon, check the seasoning (be careful as smoked salmon is quite salty), and cook over a medium heat for a further 2 minutes. Add in the cream and cook for 2–3 minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and immediately add to the sauce. Mix well over a medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure the sauce coats the pasta beautifully. Serve immediately with a pinch of paprika on top.
