Steps
Let’s see how to prepare this tasty sauce
Let’s take the smoked salmon and feel with your fingers if there are any bones, if so, remove them with tweezers.
Cut it into strips. I have a special kitchen scissors which I find very useful and quicker than using a knife.
Now take the cut salmon, add a drizzle of oil and garlic and let it cook in a pan. Five minutes will be enough. Meanwhile, start cooking the pasta.
While the pasta cooks, we whip the dessert cream, which of course we won’t sweeten. You’ll see how good it is. I prefer it over cooking cream, it stays much fluffier.
Drain the fusilli and pour them into our pasta pan, where we previously cooked the salmon. Also, add the cream.
Mix all the ingredients well and voila, ready to serve. The difference you’ll immediately notice is the creaminess of the sauce, which in my opinion with cooking cream tended to dry out quickly. For heaven’s sake, everyone has their own taste, but I highly recommend it.
