Ingredients

For the salmon and courgette tagliatelle

  • Dried tagliatelle – 350 g
  • Courgettes – 3
  • Fresh salmon – 300 g
  • Fresh cream – 200 ml

Preparation

How to prepare the recipe for salmon and courgette tagliatelle

1

Melt the butter in a pan, then finely chop the shallot and add it, browning it.

2

After cutting the courgettes into cubes or rounds, depending on your preference, pour them into the pan, add a pinch of salt and cook over medium heat, adding water if necessary.

3

Prepare the salmon by cutting it into strips. Add it when the courgettes are almost cooked: leave to flavor for 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat. If you wish to add cream instead, pour it into the pan with the courgettes and salmon, mix well and cook for another two minutes.

4

Boil the tagliatelle in abundant salted water, drain them al dente and transfer them to the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything well and season with freshly ground black pepper before serving.

To mix and make everything creamier, in addition to the cream, you can use ricotta or spreadable cheese creamed with a little pasta cooking water. The result will be a lighter but still delicious dish.

Among the other combinations that we recommend you try are salmon and pea tagliatelle and those with salmon and spinach , perfect for the most important occasions.

Conservation

Prepare and enjoy this first course at the moment to appreciate all its creaminess.
