Cook Trofie With Salmon and Courgettes
259
STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Chop the shallots and place them in a pan with some oil and a splash of water
Slice the courgettes in 4 lengthwise
Slice the soft heart off with a small knife and set aside
Take care of the outer part of the courgettes first
Slice them keeping and even thickness but making uneven size pieces, this will help amalgamate the sauce at the end
Throw them into the pan when the shallots start becoming translucent. Sauté for five minutes
Finely chop the inner parts pf the courgettes
Add the minced cores to the pan together with a splash of water and sauté for 10 minutes over a medium heat
Chop the parsley and stir it in, add pepper and salt to taste
Time to cook the pasta. Throw the pasta (I chose trofie this time) into boiling salted water
Cut the smoked salmon into 1cm by 2cm pieces
And add it to the pan
Stir fry for 2-3 minutes and as the salmon is almost cooked add about 100ml of white wine
When the wine evaporates add the cream (or panna, if you can manage to find it at your local Italian store)
Reduce the sauce but take off the heat before the cream dries out
Drain the pasta when "al dente" and add it to the pan, sauté for few minutes over low heat
Plate and eat hot
Enjoy! (And make sure to drink the rest of the bottle of wine!)
