This is my favorite section on this site, I just love cooking tasty dishes! What I am after is a pasta recipe. I was recently in an Italian restaurant and had creamy, saucy, smoked salmon tossed pasta. I would love to know a recipe for this. I guess it would be quite easy but want the nicest recipe for it.
Any ideas?

Finely chop a shallot, and put in saucepan with 250ml dry white wine. Reduce on a medium heat until almost completely evaporated. Whisk in a few knobs of butter to thicken slightly. 3. Cook preferred pasta, drain, and add to wine/butter/shallots in saucepan. Toss to mix. 4. Pour over the cream mixture and stir to coat the pasta thoroughly. The heat of the pasta will cook the egg. 5. Add strips of smoked salmon and fresh parsley and dill. Serve immediately.
* NB. Don't return to the heat after adding cream mixture, as the eggs will easily scramble!
And variations as a suggestion to try:
Use creme fraiche for a low fat version in place of the cream.
Use pasta shells to 'scoop up' more of the sauce
Add a little prepared mustard to the cream for a background flavour
Very quickly saute some thinly sliced shallots and some prawns and add to the sauce with the salmon.
Use black pasta (coloured with squid ink) which is really glossy when dressed and shows off the salmon beatutifully.
Try with a quality smoked trout for a really delicately flavoured alternative.
If using linguine or angels hair pasta, slice the smoked salmon into long strips, not chunks. Looks a a lot better and easier to eat.
Recommend not to use the off-cuts or supermarket smoked salmon pieces for this as you should get the best that you can, and the flavours of these cheaper products does not compare to a quality smoked salmon.
Show off and dress the plate with some smoked paprika sprinkled round the edge. Looks attractive and is a seasoning too, if wanted. Long fronds of dill over the dish is bice as well.
A peppery salad of fresh rocket leaves goes well as the disc can be quite rich.
