  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 6 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently.
  5. Add parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet along with smoked salmon and reserved pasta water.
  7. Toss gently until the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
  8. Stir in fresh dill and lemon juice.
  9. Serve immediately with extra dill and parmesan on top.

Notes

  • Reserve extra pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the smoothest sauce texture.
  • Add dill at the end for the freshest flavor.
  • Taste before adding extra salt because smoked salmon is naturally salty.
