Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4-6 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Cook the Capellini

    Add the capellini to the boiling water. Cook for 2-4 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the smoked salmon, heavy cream, lemon juice, dill, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Blend the Sauce

    Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  3. 6

    Heat the Sauce

    In a saucepan over low heat, pour the blended sauce and heat gently, stirring occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

Combining and Serving

  1. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained capellini to the saucepan with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately while hot.
