Tagliatelle Pasta with Salmon Recipe

4

Ingredients

8 ounces dried tagliatelle or fettuccine
1/2 cup sour cream*
1/2 cup whipping cream*
4 ounces lox-style smoked salmon
1/4 cup snipped fresh chives or dillweed or 2 teaspoons dried chives or dillweed

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Set the pasta water and pasta aside.

In the same pot you used to cook the pasta, whisk together the sour cream, whipping cream, and the reserved pasta water until smooth. Bring to boiling over medium heat. Return the pasta to the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens a bit. Add the salmon and stir gently to heat through. Add the chives or dillweed.

Divide among four wide, shallow bowls and serve.

* Note: If crème fraîche is available in your area, substitute 1 cup of crème fraîche for the 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup whipping cream.
