Subtle creaminess from the Mascarpone cheese along with the sweet courgettes that are matched perfectly with the smoky salmon.
For an extra dimension I have added some fresh basil which leaves an era of freshness to the dish.

Spaghetti with Smoked Salmon & Courgettes
Servings: 5 People
Ingredients
- 500 gr Spaghetti
- 300 gr Norwegian Smoked Salmon , roughly chopped
- 3 large Courgettes , halved and quartered lengthwise, and then roughly chopped
- 1 small Red Onion , finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh Basil , home grown, leaves picked
- 100 gr Parmigianno Reggiano Cheese
- 100 ml Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Chicken Broth , warm (press Link for recipe)
- 5 litres Water
- 2 tablespoons of EVOO , Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1½ teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Place a large, deep saucepan over medium and add the olive oil along with the onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, increase the fire and add the cut courgettes. Season with half of the salt and pepper and keep sautéing until soft, about 5 minutes. Keep aside.
- In the meantime, place a large pot filled with the water to a boil on high heat, adding a generous amount of salt. Add the pasta, stirring occasionally so as not to stick and cook 2 minutes less than package instructions.
- Put the cooked zucchini along with the basil leaves in a food processor with the metal blade attached, along with the mascarpone cheese and 150 ml of the chicken broth, season with the remaining salt and pepper. Pulse couple of times and keep aside.
- Put the same saucepan that the courgettes were sautéed over low heat and add the zucchini cream along with the smoked salmon. Strain the pasta and return to the pan. Toss the pasta so as the sauce goes to every single piece of the pasta and add the remaining chicken broth if consistency is on the thick side. Serve and top with the Parmigianno Reggiano cheese.
