A quick and yet impressive pasta dish suitable for all the family as well as being a lovely dinner party dish, and is on the table in half an hour. The orange zest marries well with the richness of the hot smoked salmon and parmesan cheese, whilst the crème fraîche makes an easy white creamy sauce. Use a good quality hot smoked salmon.
Ingredients
- 350g penne pasta
- zest from 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 50g parmesan cheese (grated)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 x hot smoked salmon fillets, about 350g in total weight (boned and skinned, I used Delish Fish honey roast salmon)
- 4 tablespoons crème fraîche
