Here is how to prepare an easy recipe that I learned while I was living in Verona, the city of Romeo and Giulietta. As a single man at that time, I was always looking for something tasty that doesn’t take so much time to prepare.
Penne al Salmone (Penne pasta with Salmon)
Ingredients for 4 people
250 gr of smoked Salmon (cut into strips)
200 ml of fresh cream
30 ml of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 garlic gloves
1 tbsp of Sundried tomato pate or passata
A small bunch of fresh parsley chopped
Salt and pepper
Put 4 lt of water to boil with 30 gr of coarse sea salt. When the water is already boiling, add the pasta. Stir it and start to make the sauce; that will take 10 minutes to be ready.
In a frying pan, put the EVOO, warm it for about 30 seconds. Crush the 2 garlic cloves and add them to the oil until golden (roughly 2 min) and then discard them.
Add the smoked salmon to the oil. Stir it for a minute or two then add the fresh cream, the parsley (preserve a little bit for garnishing), the sundried tomato pate or passata and a bit of freshly ground black pepper.
Cover and cook over a gentle heat for 3-4 minutes. The sauce will thicken and then will be ready to receive the pasta.
Check the pasta; it should be almost ready. Drain it well and add it to the sauce. Toss all together for 1 min and serve it on a plate. Finish the dish with a drizzle of Extra virgin olive oil and the remaining parsley.
See how quick and easy it is to cook Penne al Salmone?
Buon Appetito

Can’t wait to try this.
As a tomato alternative would you recommend anything else?
Thanks

An alternative btw to this product is the asparagus pate’. But you can try it without any tomato or another sauce.
The tomato makes the sauce nicely pink but it’s not essential 🙂
Enjoy and let me know.
Thanks
