Servings: 4 People
- 300 g Dried pasta Any type
- 300 g Broccoli See notes
For the sauce:
- 250 g Crème fraîche See notes
- 15 g Dill See notes
- 1 Lemon Zest and juice
- 200 g Smoked salmon
- Salt and pepper
Optional extras:
- 2 tbsp Capers See notes
- 100 g Petit pois See notes
Add the pasta to a pan of boiling salted water and cook according to the pack instructions (normally about 10 minutes).
Three minutes before the pasta has finished cooking, add in the broccoli.
Drain the cooked pasta and broccoli and put back into the hot saucepan.
Add all of the sauce ingredients to the pasta in the hot pan and stir through. (The heat of the pasta will warm the sauce.)
Broccoli: I like using tenderstem broccoli but regular is fine too. Cut into small pieces
Crème fraîche: I tend to use the half fat crème fraîche as I can't tell the difference and it's a lighter option. Either is fine
Dill: This is one of the only herbs where I think fresh is much better. If you can get it, it kind of makes this dish. Some supermarkets sell it frozen too and I like to keep a bag in the freezer for this. Dried is just OK if you have to - it's better than nothing! Just use 1 tsp if using dried
Capers: If you have any capers in the fridge or cupboard, they add an extra ZING to this dish and take it up a notch
Peas or petit pois: Just add these when you add the broccoli to the pasta water if you fancy some extra vegetables
Pasta water: Reserve a little water before draining so you can add a little to make a smoother, looser sauce if it's needed
