This hot smoked salmon pasta has a lovely creamy lemon flavour, you only need a few ingredients to create this easy and super fast recipe.

This hot smoked salmon pasta takes less than 20 minutes to make. The fresh lemon mixed with cream, salmon and al dente pappardelle makes for one amazing dinner.

I have been making this easy pasta for years now, it was inspired by a recipe from Julie Biuso when I worked as a junior graphic designer at Taste magazine back in 2005. I love having hot smoked salmon in my fridge to use in pasta, wraps or on a bagel with cream cheese.

To make the delicious sauce for this recipe you fry sage leaves in butter, add cream and lemon then stir until it becomes thick and bubbling. I like to flake half of the salmon into the sauce and reserve the other half to use at the end of the dish. This way it doesn’t get broken up too much and you can have nice little pieces of salmon on top of the creamy pappardelle.

I used dried pappardelle in this recipe but most dried or fresh pasta would work, just cook according to the packet instructions until al dente.

Make sure you season the creamy sauce to taste with salt and black pepper before adding the cooked pasta. I like to serve my smoked salmon pasta garnished with chopped chives and a wedge of lemon.
