Pasta with creamy saffron salmon sauce

This dish is one my dad made quite often and I really love it! It’s as easy to make as tomato sauce and as quickly done too, but it feels a lot more fancy.

Great for dinner with friends and loved ones.

Ingredients for two servings

• 400g pasta

• 1 tbsp olive oli

• 200g smoked salmon

• 250ml cream (full fat or half and half)

• one pinch of saffron

• salt

• pepper

Instruction

In a large pan bring water to a boil. As soon as it boils, add salt and the pasta.

While the pasta is cooking, cut the salmon into 1.5 x 1.5 cm pieces.

Heat oil in a large frying pan. Sear the salmon in hot oil for 2 minutes. Deglaze with cream. Add a pinch of saffron an season to taste with salt and pepper.

Let the sauce simmer until it is a little thicker.

Tip

• Set aside 50ml of cream to thin the sauce if it gets too thick.

• You can also deglaze the salmon with a little bit of white wine and add the cream afterwards.
