It's been a wee while since I blogged a recipe so here goes! This recipe was chosen by my daughter for tea tonight. She's getting to the stage that she enjoys helping with the cooking (although maybe not the tidying and washing up so much!) and I'm not so nervous about letting her loose with sharp knives and hot pans! The recipe is adapted from my Prima Quick & Easy Cook Book and I'm ashamed to say I've never made a recipe out of it before this one but I'm sure now we've got into it there will be more!
As the recipe uses low-fat soft cheese there's not much in the way of 'syns' so it's suitable if you're following the Slimming World plan and comes in at around 3.5 syns per portion (for the soft cheese and wine).
Linguine with Smoked Salmon
Serves 4
Ingredients:
125g/4oz low-fat soft cheese (I used Tesco)
175g/6oz smoked salmon trimmings
4 tbsp dry white wine
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
350g/12oz mixed mangetout and broccoli (cut into tiny florets)
300g/10oz dried linguine
sprigs of fresh dill to garnish
Method:
Boil the pasta in salted water according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, put the soft cheese, 50g/2oz smoked salmon, wine amd lemon juice into a blender and process until smooth.
Transfer the blended salmon mixture into a small saucepan and heat through very gently, do not allow to boil. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Stir in the chopped dill and remaining salmon.
Cook the mangetout and broccoli in a pan of salted water for 5 minutes until just cooked. Drain and add to the pasta. Combine the salmon sauce with the pasta and vegetables, carefully folding together. Serve immediately and garnish with sprigs of fresh dill.
