Ingredients

  • 300 g Dried pasta
  • 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.

Instructions

  • 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.)

Notes

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.
