Mr NQN's Favourite Salmon Spaghetti
-
250g/ 1/2 pound dried spaghetti
-
3 egg yolks
-
1/2 cup light cream
-
100g/3.5 ozs hot smoked salmon or trout
-
1/4 bunch of aspargus
-
a small handful of fresh dill
-
salt and pepper
Step 1 - Boil the spaghetti according to directions in plenty of salted, boiling water. Mix together the egg yolks and cream and slice up the asparagus.
Step 2 - When the pasta is ready, take out one cup of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the spaghetti and immediately, put it back in the pot along with the egg and cream mix and use the heat of the spaghetti to cook the eggs and asparagus-the asparagus gives it a nice crunch so you don't want it too soft. Add some of the pasta water if it is too thick-sometimes I find I add about 1/2 to 2/3 of a cup of it to the pasta. Add the salmon or trout and dill and season with salt and pepper.
