Fresh pasta with smoked salmon and tomato sauce

As with all my pasta recipes, I’m making the pasta myself but I’ll also note down in the recipe when you can start cooking the pasta.

If you are making fresh pasta start with prepping the pasta dough. Take 200 gr of pasta flour and mix this (in you food processor) with 2 eggs and a dash of salt. Once the dough is becoming a nice boll, you put the dough in a bowl in the fridge. You can already put a pan with water on the stove, do the same when you are using dried pasta.

Chop the parsley. Cut the salmon into pieces. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into thin slices. Peel the onion and trim and fine slice the onion. Peel the garlic, cut it in half and remove the root. Wash the zucchini, cut it in half and chop it into thin slices.

Now that all ingredients are ready to be used, it’s time to start prepping the pasta.

Make sure your countertop is clean and dry so to roll out the pasta dough. Cover your countertop with some flour and roll out the pasta dough until you can cut it into pieces that fit into the pasta machine.

Pull the pasta sleeves approx.. 3 times through the pasta machine. For this dish I’ve used tagliatelle. So once the sleeves are thin enough you can take them through the tagliatelle shaper. After this, hang them on your drying rack.

Put a big frying pan on the stove, add some butter. Squeeze the garlic into the pan, add the onion. Fritter the onion for about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the zucchini and fry for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Add sea salt and olive oil to the boiling water. Put the fresh pasta in the pan. It needs to boil for 5 minutes.

Stir the vegetables. Add the salmon. Fry the salmon till it colors from hard pink to soft baby pink. Stir regularly and add some pepper. Add the passata di pomodori, the lemon juice and some parsley. Keep some parsley aside for the garnish.

Rinse down the pasta. Put the pasta on the plates and add the sauce. Finish of with some parsley.

Enjoy!!
