How to Make Farfalle With Smoked Salmon And Cream Cheese

Cook farfalle pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the thinly sliced onion in a tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) in a large pan over medium heat until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the cooked and drained farfalle to the pan with the softened onions.
Stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and smooth.
Add the chopped smoked salmon, fresh dill, and capers to the pasta. Gently toss to combine.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a creamy sauce that coats the pasta. You may not need all the reserved water.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
