A quick and easy recipe that can be used as a starter or main course. It’s also one that the kids love and a great way to introduce them to smoked salmon.

Pasta and Smoked Salmon with a Cream and Thyme Sauce

Serves 4

Ingredients
  • 400g/14oz dried pasta.
  • 150g/5oz thinly sliced smoked salmon.
  • 25g/2 tbsp butter.
  • 150ml double cream.
  • 2-3 fresh thyme sprigs.
  • Ground black pepper.

      1. Cook your favourite pasta according to the instructions on the packet, until tender but still firm to bite.
      2. Cut the smoked salmon into thin short lengths and set aside. Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs.
      3. Melt the butter in a large pan. Stir in the cream with a quarter of the salmon add the thyme leaves and then season with the pepper. Heat gently for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow sauce to boil. Taste for seasoning.
      4. Drain the pasta, return it to the pan, and toss it in the cream and salmon sauce. Divide among four warmed bowls and top with the remaining salmon and thyme leaves. Serve immediately.
