Instructions
COOK THE PASTA:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 8 ounces mini farfalle to al dente according to the package directions. When the noodles are ready, reserve a cup of the cooking water for later use(if needed). Drain the noodles, but don't rinse them.
FOR THE SMOKED SALMON PASTA:
- While the farfalle cooks, make the creamy salmon pasta sauce. In a saucepan over medium-low heat melt 2 teaspoons butter with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Stir in 1 small onion and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and cook for 3 minutes or until the onions are translucent (do not brown).
- Increase the heat to medium and stir in 14 ounces small diced tomatoes and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until some of the liquid has simmered off and the sauce is thick.
- Add ½ cup heavy cream, 1½ tablespoons cognac, 1½ teaspoons grated ginger and stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 3½ ounces smoked salmon, stirring just until the fish is warmed through.
- Add the al dente mini farfalle to the sauce and toss to coat.
- Adjust seasonings with additional salt and/or pepper and garnish with 1 tablespoon parsley
