You need

• Sauce pan;
• Large pot;

Ingredients

• 1 salmon fillet;
• 100g double cream;
• 10g coriander;
• 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil;
• 2-3 handful of dry pasta per person;
• 5-10g grated Parmesan

Step by step

• I usually cook this pasta using leftover salmon – poached, steamed or grilled – it doesn’t matter.
• Chop the coriander leaves.
• Put a saucepan on a medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the salmon flakes. Warm for a couple of minutes.
• Stir in the cream and the coriander. Cook for 2 minutes more.
• Fill a large pot with boiling water, add salt and bring back to the boil.
• Add the pasta and cook according to instructions on the package. If you want your pasta to be “al dente”, reduce the time by one minute.
• When the pasta is done, drain it in a colander and tip it back into the pot.
• Stir the sauce in.
• Serve with finely grated Parmesan cheese.
