Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Capers
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/4 pound smoked salmon, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream (a.k.a. whipping cream)
- 3 tablespoons capers, drained
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound pasta, cooked al dente, drained (reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water), and tossed with olive oil
- Freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and saute until translucent, but not browned.
- Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour in the cream and add the capers.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty.
- Add the pasta and toss to coat.
- If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down.
- Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
