Method: How to make Pasta and smoked salmon

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 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.
