Pasta With Smoked Salmon And Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orecchiette and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine cream and onion in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
• Gently stir salmon, Parmesan cheese, capers, butter, and parsley into the cream mixture and serve over pasta.

Steps:

• Melt the butter add all the flour at one time and cook until a sandy texture is achieved. Slowly add the half-and-half, mixing well, and bringing to a boil after each addition. Add the onion with the bay leaf and clove, and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Strain before using.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion and saute until translucent, but not browned.
• Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until salmon turns opaque, 1-2 minutes.
• Pour in the cream and add capers.
• Be careful how much salt you add because the snoked salmon and capers are both salty.
• Add pasta and toss to coat.
• *Ifthere doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down.
• Serve with freshly grated parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a small frying pan until hot. Add the breadcrumbs and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp, turning often. Tip into a small bowl. (You can prepare these several hours ahead.)
• Cook the pasta in plenty of gently boiling well-salted water until al dente. Meanwhile peel the garlic and chop it very finely. Put the rest of the oil in a small pan and add the garlic and chillies. Warm gently over a low heat so they flavour the oil - but don't let the garlic fry.
• Drain the pasta and tip it into a warmed very large serving bowl. Quickly add the lemon zest and capers to the oil, then pour over the pasta. Toss well, add the rocket and salmon and toss again - take care not to break up the salmon too much. Scatter the breadcrumbs over and serve with a salad of sliced tomatoes.
