Recipe for fresh tagliatelle with smoked salmon, spinach, and cream:
Ingredients:
- 250g fresh tagliatelle
- 150g smoked salmon, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Fresh dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Tagliatelle:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the fresh tagliatelle according to the package instructions or until al dente. Fresh pasta typically cooks much faster than dried pasta, so keep an eye on it.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Spinach and Salmon:
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
- Add the sliced smoked salmon to the pan and cook briefly until it begins to flake.
- Pour in Cream:
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the other ingredients.
- Simmer the sauce for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine with Tagliatelle:
- Drain the cooked tagliatelle and add it to the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- Serve:
- Divide the pasta among plates or bowls.
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh dill if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the tagliatelle immediately while it’s hot. The combination of the smoked salmon, creamy sauce, and fresh spinach creates a delicious and satisfying dish.
