Smoked salmon and arugula pasta is a dish that combines simplicity and taste in perfect harmony. The bold flavor of smoked salmon meets the freshness of arugula, creating a balance of contrasts that captivates at the first bite.
To make the dish even creamier, Greek Philadelphia was chosen, which provides a velvety texture without weighing down the sauce,
This version bears the signature of chef Andrea, my son, who wanted to give a personal touch to a classic quick-cooking dish, transforming it into a delicious first course accessible to everyone.
Just a few minutes at the stove to create a light, refined recipe ideal for any occasion: from a family dinner to a lunch with unexpected guests.

Ingredients
- 5.6 oz pasta (for me, short and penne)

- 0.7 oz arugula
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot

Quick and Appetizing First Course
In a pan, heat the EVO oil, add the peeled and chopped shallot, and let it soften.
Meanwhile, put the tall pot on the flame for cooking the pasta, which I’ll add to salted boiling water and drain al dente.
Once the shallot has softened in a few minutes, add the salmon pieces and leave just on the heat for a couple of minutes, stirring the sauce.
Add the cream cheese to the pan with a ladle of pasta cooking water and mix everything well.
Drain the pasta al dente, pouring it wet into the pan with the salmon and cream cheese sauce.
Turn off the flame, toss the pasta, also adding the arugula, washed, patted dry, and roughly torn with your fingers.
Final touches: a few pinches of black pepper and a splash of lemon juice, and the dish is ready to be served at the table.
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking! Annalisa
P.S. Andrea has been cooking at home for a while now, and I must say that although he is a bit messy, the dishes he has prepared so far are quite appetizing, and I am proud of his knowledge and his desire to learn! Well done, keep it up!
