Tips for Success
Use good-quality salmon – Fresh or previously cooked salmon works best. If using canned, go for boneless, skinless options packed in water.
Don’t overcook the cream – Keep the heat moderate to prevent curdling.
Reserve pasta water – This starchy liquid helps emulsify the sauce and gives it the perfect consistency.
Make It Your Own
This dish is easy to customize. Add spinach or peas for a touch of green, swap in smoked salmon for a deeper flavor, or use gluten-free pasta to suit your dietary needs.
