Hello everyone, hope you had amazing and relaxing holidays. Me and my husband had a lot of delicious food during the past weeks, so we are trying to limit the amount of fat in our food in order to return to a more healthy diet but also not leaving the delicious taste aside.
In fact, this creamy smoked salmon pasta is a perfect choice for when you want to switch to a healthy but delicious regime as it has smoked salmon, red onion, no cream (instead I used whole unhomogenised milk – which is a much healthier version than the original one) and white wine. All these ingredient work amazingly well with each other as they create the most creamy, rich flavour from the smoked salmon which is beautifully accompanied by the sweet onion and sharp dry white wine taste.
Serves 2 people
Cooking time 20 min
For this recipe you will need:
Ingredients:
120 gr of smoked salmon
200 gr of pappardelle pasta (any egg pasta will be fine, tagliatelle pasta as well)
1/2 glass of dry white wine
250 ml of whole unhomogenised milk
1/4 of red onion
Parsley
Dill
Salt
Olive oil
For the preparation:
First of all chop the onion into very small pieces and cook it on a frying pan with one tablespoon of olive oil and salt in a slow heat for about 5-8 minutes. Then add the chopped smoked salmon and cook everything together for about 5 minutes. After that, turn the heat from low to medium, add the white wine and cook all the ingredients until the alcohol evaporates (until you don’t smell the alcohol).
Then add the chopped parsley, the milk and cook everything until you reach the creamy constitency. Meanwhile cook the pasta (al dente) then drain it and add it to the frying pan to mix everything together.
At the end, add some dill and some chopped parley and serve it.
I hope you will like this healthy but delicious version of smoked salmon pasta version. I think the creamy costitency and beautiful pale pink-orange colour in the plate makes this dish perfect as a special treat.
See you at the next recipe and thank you very much for the appreciation you show to my blog!
Enjoy 🙂

I loved smoked salmon, but have never thought to use it in salmon, what a great idea, looks healthy and satisfying 🙂

Alice, pasta & smoked salmon is one of my favourite suppers that could be thrown together in a cinch but this is so different! I love it. Chopping the salmon and using milk, almost a ragu, superb. Next time, I’ll try this.
Wishing you a nice week as well, Nicole.

We make the “unhealthy” version at our home in Northern Italy. We use “panna da cucina” , a cooking cream that comes in little mini milk carton looking package. I’ve checked all over here in the USA and I can’t find this product. It almost solid with just a little liquid and is very unlike American cream.
We make our version topped with small capers.
E ‘veramente buono!

Yes, my husband and I have the same problem here in UK, we generally replace “la panna da cucina” with single cream which is much healthier but not thick as the italian panna da cucina.
Capers on the top looks a really nice idea, grazie mille per il tuo commento allenrizzi ☺
Best wishes,
Alice

Sounds delicious! What milk would you recommend for a dairy free version? Soy, rice, coconut, almond or something else?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Thank you SliceofChanelle for the nice words. I would recommend a mild (not overpowering taste of milk) and the one which gives you a creamy texture. I think soy and rice milk would make a great substitution. Let me know how it goes.
