- 13 ounces pasta
- ½ pound salmon filet
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 zucchini
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup grated cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente. It is important not to overcook the pasta because you will heat it in the sauce later.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the salmon for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the pan and keep it aside for a while. How long to cook the salmon depends on its thickness so always check that it is fully cooked before continuing with the recipe.
Chop an onion and cut the zucchini into small pieces. Fry the onion in the remaining until softened.
Add the zucchini and fry it for a while. When the vegetables are almost cooked add the cream, cheese, spices, and lemon juice.
Add the pasta and the chopped salmon to the cream sauce and stir well. Warm through thoroughly.
Divide the pasta among the plates and grate some more cheese.
