Ingredients

  • 400g pasta - linguini, bucatini, fettucine, spaghetti
  • 200g sliced smoked salmon - cut into strips
  • 1½ cups sour cream
  • 1 tbsp capers (optional), rinsed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • dill

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to packet instructions.
  • While pasta is cooking, fry onion in pan, then add the capers and garlic. Be ready with your lemon juice and sour cream.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid. Reduce heat of pan. Put drained pasta into pan with the onions and garlic and half the reserved liquid.
  • Moving quickly, add the sour cream, stirring so it doesn't separate, and tossing through the pasta gently. Add lemon juice and salmon.
  • Use the remaining cooking liquid to thin the sauce if it needs to be creamier.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve with dill. (I don't hate a little parmesan either but that's up to you.)
