Pasta

Pasta and smoked salmon is one of the cleanest matches in a weeknight cookbook. Fast, lean on ingredients, hard to overcook. Our pasta recipes range from a ten-minute lemon-and-dill that’s barely a recipe through to a richer carbonara with smoked salmon standing in for guanciale. Trimmings work as well as sliced sides here. The key technique throughout: salmon goes in off the heat at the very end, so the smoke doesn’t get cooked out and the texture stays soft.
