Creamy Salmon Pasta with a Chilli Lemon Kick
Introduction from Jack Monroe
This speedy fish supper – really simply a tinkering with a cheap jar of fish paste – takes just a few lazy minutes to put together and tastes absolutely divine. The sharpness of the lemon complements the salmon flavour and the yoghurt lends a creamy subtlety. When I first put this recipe on my blog, over 100 people tried it, admitting disbelief that such simple ingredients could make such a yummy meal.
Ingredients
Method
Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil, and add the pasta. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 8 to 10 minutes (or according to the packet instructions).
Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the onion, and very finely chop the chilli and parsley. Put into a frying pan with the oil, lemon zest and juice and cook over a medium heat to soften the onion.
When the pasta is cooked, remove from the heat and drain.
Quickly stir the yoghurt and fish paste into the onions to warm through. Tip the pasta into the pan and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve, garnishing with extra chopped parsley and lemon juice if desired.
