Smoked Salmon Penne Pasta


This dish is so easy to make and is really good. I learned it from my favorite Italian, Matteo Milllone! ^__^

[Serves 4]

Ingredients:
- 3 cups of uncooked Penne Pasta
- 1/2 quart of heavy cooking cream
- 5 oz Smoked Salmon - make sure you get free-range raised fish. Farm-raised salmon doesn't taste as good, and it has less than half of the OMEGA 3's that are so healthy for your body!
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Crushed Black Pepper
- Salt

1. Boil water and add the pasta, and salt to taste. Cook exactly the amount it says on the box for al dente.
2. In a large sauce pan melt the butter and saute the chopped onion until translucent. Add the cut and sliced smoked salmon and a dash of crushed black pepper, and saute with the butter and onion for 1-2 minutes.
3. Pour the cooking cream into the sauce pan and stir with the butter, onion and smoked salmon. Let it simmer until it reaches a light boil (do not let it boil for too long or the sauce will become too thick)
4. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce pan, mix and stir the ingredients together (turn the heat down to one of the lowest settings)
5. Serve and enjoy! (and sprinkle some freshly grated black pepper on top)
