Tagliatelle with smoked salmon in a mushroom and cream sauce

This is one I do a lot because its really quick ( 15 minutes roughly ) , I usually have everything i need in the house and you can make it for one person or in large quantities in the time it takes to boil the pasta. It also makes a small amount of salmon go a very long way so makes it a cheap dish for catering for a lot of people .
There are no quantities because I always just guess how much it needs depending on how many it is for. People who don’t like the texture of smoked salmon also love this because the texture totally changes when its cooked )

Put some oil ( i use olive oil but you could use any vegetable oil ) in a deep frying pan , sautee some sliced mushrooms ( chestnut mushrooms are good because they keep their shape and have a nutty taste ) . You can add all sorts of stuff at this stage for variations ( ie roughly chopped sundried tomatoes , kalamata olives , sliced peppers , chopped onions , fresh chillies if you want it to have a kick , red or green ( cut them into tiny bits straight into the pan with scissors to save getting the oil on your hands ) , asparagus spears ( fresh or frozen ) , frozen peas , sliced courgettes etc etc ) Just sautee what needs cooked or add stuff that just needs warmed through when the rest are cooked .

Take your vegetables off the heat and Stick your tagliatelle into boiling water for however long it says on the packet , fresh tagliatelle only takes about four minutes , dried tagliatelle takes a bit longer.

Whilst the tagliatelle is boiling go back to the vegetables , put them back on the heat and add half fat creme fraiche , and some milk or single cream or elmlea low fat alternative until you have what you judge to be enough sauce of a consistency to lightly coat the pasta ) and some vegetable stock granules ( much easier to work with than stock cubes ) to taste. Stir and simmer gently. Lay slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream sauce and let it heat , you can see the salmon change colour when its cooked and it starts to flake so dont stir it about too much or you will break it all up . It only takes a couple of minutes for the thin slices of salmon to heat. (Any bits that still look unheated then poke them under the cream and they soon heat ) You can add fresh herbs ( basil , parsley , coriander etc) and ground black pepper at this stage if you want . I don’t add salt as there is enough seasoning in the stock powder and in the salmon.

Drain the cooked tagliatelle and put it back in the pan you boiled it in , pour the sauce over it and tip the whole lot into a nice big serving dish ( preferably one you can warm in the oven for a few minutes. Don’t overheat the dish it as it dries the sauce out ) and garnish with fresh herbs if you want or lemon wedges on the edge of the dish.

I serve this with a bowl of watercress and pine nut salad with a citrus dressing ( or a flat dish of sliced tomatoes , sliced mozarella cheese and torn basil leaves drizzled with balsamic vinegar and good olive oil with some crushed garlic . The flavour of that is much improved if you make it earlier in the day and let it sit in the fridge until half an hour before you want to use it ) , garlic flat bread and fresh parmesan shavings or lemon stuffed olives.

I’ll See It Through – Texas

You’re all I ever needed , it’s you x

When you touch me
I feel there’s nothing you can do to turn me away
And I know that
In the past you’ve had bad luck so I should help you stay

You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I ever needed, it’s you
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
And loving you’s the right thing to do
And I’ll see it through

When I close my eyes
And think of you it takes me places that I’ve never seen
And the rain, it blows
You’re brushing up against my skin to wash me clean

You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I ever needed – it’s you
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
And loving you’s the right thing to do
And I’ll see it through

I’ll show you the love in my head
I’ll show you the love that we had
I’ll show you the love in my head
I’ll show you the love that we had

You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I’ve ever needed, it’s you
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
And loving you’s the right thing to do

You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I’ve ever needed, it’s you
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
And loving you’s the right thing to do
And I’ll see it through
