Ingredients:

  • 2 VÅRLAKS salmon fillets (cut into bite-sized pieces)

  • 250g fresh tagliatelle pasta

  • 1 medium zucchini (thinly sliced)

  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra freshness)

Steps:

  • Cook the Pasta:
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the Zucchini & Garlic:
    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced zicchini, sautéing until the zucchini softens and turns slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Salmon:
    Gently add the VÅRLAKS salmon pieces to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, turning occasionally until the salmon is just cooked through and tender.
  • Make the Cream Sauce:
    Pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  • Combine with Pasta:
    Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan, gently tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy this rich, creamy, and satisfying dish!

This creamy taggliatelle combines the fresh flavors of zucchini and VÅRLAKS salmon with a luxurious cream sauce, making it the perfect comfort food. It’s light, flavorful and oh-so satisfying!
