How to Make Angel Hair Noodles With Smoked Salmon
- Finely chop 2 scallions.
- In a small bowl, gently combine 4 ounces smoked salmon (roughly chopped), 2 chopped scallions, 2 tablespoons creme fraiche, and a generous grinding of black pepper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 4 ounces angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes, until al dente.
- Immediately drain the pasta, reserving about 1 tablespoon of pasta cooking water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the salmon mixture. Toss gently to combine, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra scallions if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
