Recipe: Pasta with Salmon

Summary: Recipe from Best 30-Minute Recipe Cookbook by Cooks Illustrated. Fresh tarragon is key to this dish–don’t substitute dried. Boil the pasta until it is just shy of your preferred doneness, as it will continue to cook for a few minutes with the sauce. While you might be tempted to use canned salmon here–don’t. It won’t taste nearly as good as fresh.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Butter, unsalted
  • 1 Shallot, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 8 ounces Fettuccine or Linguine
  • Salt & Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas, thawed
  • 1 tbsp Tarragon, fresh & minced
  • 2 cups Salmon- the pre-cooked reserve, flaked

Instructions

  1. Bring 3 quarts water to boil in large pot.
  2. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in cream, bring to simmer, and cook until thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Set sauce aside, off heat.
  4. Stir pasta and 1/4 teaspoon salt into boiling water and cook  until pasta is just shy of al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water, then drain pasta.
  5. Return drained pasta to pot over low heat, stir in cream mixture, peas, and tarragon.
  6. Gently fold in salmon & cook, stirring until sauce clings to pasta and salmon and peas have heated through, about 1 minute.
  7. Add reserved pasta cooking water as needed to adjust sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Quick Notes

Since I serve recipes that contain cream sparingly, this scrumptious recipe is a treat. The 30-Minute cookbook offers this introduction:

One of the easiest ways to transform last night’s salmon into a second meal is to incorporate it into a pasta dish. The recipes we tried from other books, however, tasted incredibly bland or felt unfinished. These recipes usually toss flaked salmon with hot pasta, peas, and ricotta, which isn’t all that appealing (or tasty) We found that all it took to elevate this easy dish to an elegant meal was to make a very simple cream reduction and then add peas and fresh tarragon to it along with the pasta and salmon. To keep the salmon from breaking up too much, gently stir it into the pasta toward the end of cooking.
