- 180 grams linguine or pasta of your choice
- 75 grams smoked salmon trimmings sliced into bite sized pieces
- 75 grams prawns or shrimp cooked and peeled
- 150 ml white wine
- 4 tbsp creme fraiche
- 75 grams rocket arugula
- 1 red onion finely diced
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the diced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until the onion starts to become translucent.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packet instructions in a large pot of salted water. Drain when al dente and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
Stir the white wine into the onion and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes until the wine has reduced by half.
Stir the creme fraiche and lemon juice into the onions and simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Stir in the prawns and salmon trimmings.
Add a splash of pasta cooking water before stirring in the pasta and rocket with the rest of the ingredients. Use tongs to give everything a good stir and add pasta water as required to get your desired consistency of sauce.
Divide equally between two bowls and garnish with lemon zest to serve.
Tips and Subs -
White Wine can be skipped if you don't consume alcohol.
If using uncooked prawns, add them to the sauce a few minutes earlier and cook until just turned pink before adding the salmon, pasta and rocket.
