Fresh Pasta with Smoked Salmon

Method

• Heat a large pot of water over high heat for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to its package directions.

• Preheat a large heavy skillet over high heat. Add olive oil to the pan and heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
• Add shallots and garlic. Add salmon and cook for one minute to begin to caramelize the salmon. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Turn heat to low and add wine and cream. Cook until slightly reduced. Add lemon juice.
• You may add the reserved pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Toss the sauce and pasta together.
• Turn off the heat and add dried pine nuts, lemon juice, and fresh parsley to the mixture.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately as a main dish with a tasty warm salad. Garnish with more dill to serve.
