SMOKED SALMON LINGUINE WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE

Ingredients

• 6 – 7 ounce smoked salmon (canned or packaged)
• 8 ounce dry linguine
• 1 ½ tablespoon butter
• 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 1/3 cup shallots (finely diced)
• dash of red pepper flakes
• juice from ½ lemon
• zest from ½ lemon
• ½ cup heavy cream
• salt
• ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, place in the salmon and break into small pieces with a fork. Set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of water (salted) to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. Save 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, warm up the butter and olive oil. Add shallots and cook for 3 minutes. Throw in a dash of red pepper flakes. Add lemon juice and zest. Pour in the heavy cream and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Mix well. Cook until warm. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
