Pasta With Vodka And Smoked Salmon Food

CREAMY LEMON VODKA SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, as it will finish cooking in (and absorb!) the sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sweat the onion with a sprinkle of salt until it is tender and translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the vodka and reduce it down until it is almost gone.
• Add the cream and cook until it just starts to bubble. Gently stir in the cooked salmon and warm through.
• Add the cooked pasta and continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the pasta water.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest, Parmesan and fresh dill. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Garnish with thin lemon slices, fresh dill and more Parmesan.
