Ingredients
- Linguine
- 12 ounces
- Salt
- to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- to taste
- Fresh dill
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Smoked salmon
- 8 ounces, sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
- Gently add the smoked salmon to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it starts to change color and is heated through.
- Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and chopped dill. Stir well to combine and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill and lemon zest for a burst of freshness.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a splash of white wine just after sautéing the garlic.
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
- Pair this dish with a crisp green salad and a light vinaigrette for a complete dining experience.
