Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 12 ounces linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking the garlic
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the linguine and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Add the cooked linguine to the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Gently fold in the sliced smoked salmon and chopped dill, allowing the salmon to warm slightly.
Serving
  1. Serve the smoked salmon linguine immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges on the side.
