Ingredients
- 14.1 oz linguine pasta, or similar (400g)
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 5.2 oz smoked salmon (150g)
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the linguine or long pasta shape of your choice. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions until al dente.
- Meanwhile, cut the smoked salmon into thin strips and finely chop some fresh parsley (this is optional but I think it adds a nice freshness to the pasta).
- Next, add the eggs to a bowl and whisk together, add the grated parmesan and a good pinch of salt and pepper, stir to combine.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it back into the pot you cooked it in. Sprinkle over the strips of salmon then add the whisked eggs and parmesan mixture, immediately stir the pasta to coat it evenly in egg and to distribute the salmon throughout the pasta evenly.
- Tip: wait exactly 1 minute before pouring over the egg mixture. If the pasta is too hot the eggs will scramble but if it's too cool the eggs will remain raw.
- The pasta should be creamy and evenly coated in sauce. Divide the smoked salmon pasta between bowls and top with a scattering of chopped parsley and an extra grinding of pepper, serve.

Notes
- You could use chives instead of parsley.
- Make sure you wait about 1 minute before adding the eggs so they don't scramble.
- This pasta is best eaten immediately, it doesn't reheat or freeze well.
