Pasta with salmon without cream is a simple and delicious dish, perfect for those who desire a light yet tasty meal.
I made this dish without cream because I wanted it to be lighter and not to weigh down the dish with creaminess.
A simple preparation but rich in flavor, ideal for those who want a tasty but light dish.
In this version, salmon is the absolute protagonist, but without the addition of cream which is usually used to make the sauce creamier, yet I still created a creamy sauce.
I don’t really like pasta dishes rich in sauces, where the pasta is barely visible, in my opinion, balance should be found in everything, and in this case, I am satisfied.

Ingredients for making Pasta with Salmon without Cream
- 7 oz semolina pasta (I preferred penne rigate)
- 3.5 oz smoked salmon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 7 oz whole milk
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- dried parsley (or fresh chopped)
- 1.35 oz white wine
- 1 tsp tomato sauce (or tomato paste)
Tools
- 1 Pan pan
Preparation of Pasta with Salmon without Cream
In a non-stick pan, put the butter with the roughly chopped smoked salmon, toss in the pan mixing until it almost sticks to the pan.
Add the tomato, then the wine and cook for a couple of minutes.
Separately, in a jug or large glass, put the milk and mix in the flour well, then pour into the pan with the salmon using a strainer to avoid lumps.
Mix and continue cooking until you get a creamy sauce.
Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil for the pasta, and when it boils, add the pasta, cooking until it’s quite al dente.
When the pasta is ready, add it to the salmon with a slotted spoon, so as to keep the cooking water aside.
Also add a few tablespoons of cooking water to the pan with the pasta and complete the cooking, always mixing.
Plate up and if you want, add a sprinkle of dried or fresh chopped parsley.
