Salmon-Leek Pasta

This is an ultra-cheap, easy, yet surprisingly tasty recipe. We seem to have this at least once each week.

Ingredients

For four people you’ll need:

  • Penne pasta (one very large handful per person -try pouring the pasta into your hand until it overflows … oh go on, add one more handful just for luck)
  • 2-3 leeks, chopped into about 1cm thick slices.
  • 200g salmon, thinly sliced tiny pieces (this can be ultra cheap, e.g. salmon trimmings
  • half-fat creme fraiche/sour cream
  • Lemon juice
  • Pepper

Method

  1. Boil your pasta. About 3-4 minutes before it is completed, drop your leeks into the pot as well. Everything should be ready at the same time if you get this right.
  2. Drain your pasta/leek mix.
  3. Drop your salmon and creme fraiche into the pasta pot.
  4. Add plenty of lemon juice and pepper. Mix it all up.

Total time from start to finish: about 2 minutes more than the time it takes to cook the pasta as you can do most of the preparation while the pasta is cooking.
