Pasta with Smoked Salmon

This is probably one of my our favourite dish. It is our emergency dish and we love to stuff our face with this one. You know, when both of us are really tired from work or school, so very hungry but so very tired. We I will always end up making this pasta cause it is easy and takes very little time. There is one catch, you'll have to have a packet of smoked salmon in the fridge like us but don't worry, this works with normal frozen salmon filets as well. I first read the recipe here. 

Here's how I make the dish.

Boil pasta, drain and rinse with ice-cold water.

Dice 2 medium sized onion, 3 clove garlic and 2 cili padi. The chili padi is to give a little kick, optional. Fry them in Olive oil until aromatic.

Chop some fresh parsley.

Throw in some smoked salmon strips and fry to infuse some flavor.

You'll need 2 dollops of chunked tomato from a can and 2 dollops of fresh cream cheese. You can use Joghurt, Sour Cream or Cremé Fráiche if you're on a diet.

The recipe calls for white wine but I use apple juice.

Throw in some capers and black olives. I also add frozen peas.

If the broth is too runny, add cream or milk or apple juice. Season with salt and pepper. Heat up the broth, don't boil! Then throw in strips of salmon (around 200g) and the pasta in there.

Tadaaa.. Misch Masch. Yumm da Dummm..

Serve with sprinkling of fresh parsley.
