Ingredients

  • 350g dried tagliatelle
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 fat garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 x 300ml pot half-fat crème fraîche
  • 250g frozen peas
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 x 180g pack steamed salmon fillets, flaked
  • 1 x 80g pack watercress, thicker stems removed
  • 1⁄2 x 25g pack dill, roughly chopped
  • Parmesan shavings, to serve

Step by step

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water until al dente. Once cooked, drain, reserving about 300ml of the cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute before adding the crème fraîche, peas and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and turn off the heat. Add the pasta to the sauce, and stir in 100ml of cooking water, the salmon, watercress and most of the dill. Stir in more pasta water if needed, to create a thick, glossy sauce that coats the pasta. Season and add lemon juice to taste. Top with the remaining dill plus Parmesan shavings to serve.
