one-pot-pasta w/ salmon & peas
Servings: 2
ingredients:
- 125 g short maccheroni (aka maccaronelli)
- 4 spring onions
- 200 g salmon (w/o skin)
- 150 g peas (fresh or frozen)
- 400 ml fish stock
- 100 ml cream
- ½ tsp dried dill
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
how to:
- Trim & chop the spring onions & start frying in olive oil for about 4-5 min until starting getting soft.
- Add the (frozen) peas & fry for another 3-4 min. (If using fresh peas think of planning additional time for removing the peapods.)
- Remove the skin of the salmon (if necessary) w/ an extra sharp knife; dice the salmon & add to the spring onion-pea-mess. Add salt & pepper to taste. Fry for another 3-4 min.
- Add maccheroni to the mess.
- Add fish stock & cream & dried dill to the mess & bring it to a boil.
- Fry/cook/simmer for about 8-9 min - until almost all the liquid is absorbed by the maccheroni. (According to my pasta package short maccheroni need about 8-9 min ... if using any other pasta check the recommendation on its package.)
- Add pepper to taste.
- Optional: Serve w/ grated pecorino or parmesan.
Notes
Servings: It's meant as a lunch for 2 persons, but it may be enough for 3 people.
Parmesan or Pecorino: It's optional - best you place some chunk of cheese & a cheese grater at disposal. (There are people who don't like the combination of fish & cheese.)
