Ingredients

  • 300g Essential Spaghetti
  • 1 fish stock cube
  • 3 tbsp Essential Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tbsp Essential Plain Flour
  • 100g Essential Mild Smoked Salmon Pieces
  • 300g can Essential Garden Peas, drained
  • ½ tbsp Essential Vegetable Oil
  • 4 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Lemon & Pepper Crust

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to pack instructions. Dissolve the stock cube in 120ml just-boiled water.

  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over a medium heat and add the flour. Using a spatula, work it into a paste and gradually add the fish stock to make a slightly thickened sauce. Stir in the smoked salmon pieces and simmer for 1-2 minutes until cooked through, breaking up the pieces into smaller flakes. Stir in the peas.

  3. In a separate frying pan, melt the remaining butter with the vegetable oil until foaming, then add the lemon and pepper crust. Fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until golden, then remove from the heat.

  4. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of cooking water. Add the spaghetti back to the pan with the salmon sauce and a little pasta water, then mix to a creamy sauce that clings to the spaghetti. Divide between 4 bowls and top with the crispy lemon crust.
