Smoked salmon carbonara
Smoked salmon carbonara is a delicious twist on the classic Italian pasta dish. It typically includes smoked salmon, eggs, Parmesan cheese, cream, and pasta (usually spaghetti or fettuccine). The smoked salmon adds a rich, smoky flavor to the creamy carbonara sauce, making it a decadent and flavorful dish.
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti or fettuccine
- 4 oz smoked salmon chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add the chopped smoked salmon to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until heated through.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the salmon.
- Slowly pour the egg and cream mixture over the pasta, stirring constantly to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water to thin it out.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
- Enjoy!
