Pasta with salmon is a delicious pasta dish with salmon, sundried tomatoes, and capers. You can either use fresh or canned salmon, or smoked salmon, which is what I prefer. If you don’t have heavy cream, you can either use milk or cream cheese (for a tangy, creamier consistency). I also like to use short pasta, and sundried tomatoes that have been preserved in olive oil.

Serves 4-6 people
Ingredients

1/2 lb penne, rigatoni or farfalle pasta
1 T olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced

1-2 T heavy cream or cream cheese
4 oz smoked salmon with dill, broken up into bite-size pieces
2 tsp capers
salt, to taste

1. in a large pot, cook the pasta according to directions on box, drain, and set aside.
2. in a large pan, sauté shallot in olive oil until a little translucent, then add the garlic, stirring.
3. add sundried tomatoes and tomato sauce and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring so as not to burn.

5. add salmon and stir.
6. add capers and salt to taste.
7. throw in the pasta and stir until coated, being careful not to break up the salmon any more.
