SMOKED SALMON TAGLIATELLE (TAGLIATELLE AL SALMONE AFFUMICATO)

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

125g pack of smoked salmon pieces
2 cloves of garlic
1 onion
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of flour
150ml carton of single cream
1 teaspoon of mixed herbs
At least 300ml of water
? of a teaspoon of salt
200g of tagliatelle
Ground pepper to taste

METHOD

Cut the smoked salmon into 2cm (1 inch) pieces!. Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces!. Peel the onion and chop it into tiny pieces!.

Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat!. Add the onion and garlic!. Cook for a couple of minutes until the onion has gone soft!. Stir frequently to stop it sticking!. Add the flour and stir until it has absorbed the oil and juices in the pan!. Add the cream, herbs and smoked salmon!. Stir and cook for about a minute until it has made a smooth sauce!.

Put the water and salt into a saucepan on a medium heat!. Bring to the boil!. Add the pasta!. Stir it to stop it sticking to the bottom of the pan!. Bring back to the boil and continue to cook!. Stir frequently to stop it sticking!.

Begin testing it about 2 minutes before the packet instructions say it should be done!. The best way to judge if pasta is cooked is to bite it!. This is tricky, because if you fish out a bit and stick in your mouth you may burn your mouth on the boiling water!. Wait a bit and blow on it, then bite it!. If it is hard it needs longer!. If it is chewy (or ‘al dente’, Italian for ‘to the teeth’) it is ready!. If it is soft it is overcooked!.

Drain the pasta in a sieve or colander!.

Always ‘take the pasta to the sauce’!. Put the pasta in the pan with the sauce and stir together until thoroughly coated!.

Season with the pepper!.

ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS

Use crème fra?che instead of the cream!.

The half cream, half green mixed tagliatelle (called ‘paglia e fieno’, or ‘straw and hay’) looks really good with this sauce!.

TIPS

If you use enough water, add the pasta when the water is boiling, stir the pasta frequently and don’t wander off (‘Gli spaghetti amano la compagnia’, or ‘spaghetti loves company’) and don’t overcook it, adding olive oil to the water to stop it sticking is totally unnecessary!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Boghe in scabescio (fish marinated in vinegar w/ onion, garlic, sage & parsley, browned in oil)!. I also love caffe granita con panna!. That's espresso ice cream covered with whip cream served on brioche! Yum, I do adore authentic Italian food!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Okay call me a hick or old fashion ,but there is just something about a big bowl of pasta with giant homemade meatballs and thick tomato sauce spread over it!. If you add a breadstick or two I would be in heaven! Www@FoodAQ@Com
