Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti with Smoked Salmon
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
Well, tonight it was not so much cooking than to stir pre-cooked things together like tossing a salad. The menu for tonight was pretty easy, and it was also convenient since my hubby and I arrived a tad late at home and didn’t feel like standing too long in the kitchen to prepare our food. I took this menu from a recipe booklet titled ‘Fast Pasta’ published by Periplus and it was delish. It consisted of pasta of any kind – the recipe called for tagliatelle but I opted for spaghetti – tossed with smoked salmon, finely chopped dill, capers and lemon juice, which were mixed before with pre-melted butter. The taste of smoked salmon was dominant of course (also because I used more than prescribed) but the capers gave it a nice tangy taste (I used capers in vinegar).
I made a little too much as usual, so my food-happy hubby could indulge himself and Sam was then also a happy little pup.
