How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Smoked Salmon And Dill
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (about 2-3 minutes).
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, chopped dill, shallots (or red onion), capers, and lemon zest.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Drain the cooked pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- Add the drained pasta to the saucepan with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to thin it out.
- Gently fold in the sliced smoked salmon.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra dill, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
