Tips and Notes

You can also use fresh salmon, just cut it into chunks, brown it separately for a few minutes and then add it to the cream.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What pasta shape is best?
All semolina pasta shapes are fine, I chose calamarata, but paccheri, fusilli, penne, shells, or even linguine are also good if you prefer long pasta.
Can I add garlic or onion?
If you like, you can sauté a small piece of onion (finely chopped) with a little oil before adding the potatoes.
