How to Make Bow Tie Pasta With Smoked Salmon Farfalle Al Salmone Affunicato

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 8 ounces of smoked salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the saucepan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of vodka and carefully ignite (optional, for a hint of smoky flavor). Let the alcohol burn off completely.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little pasta water to adjust the consistency.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil and grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Serve with a side of crusty garlic bread.
