Ingredients

  • 170 g Penne Pasta, cooked
  • 4 tbsp Creme Fraiche, half-fat
  • 100 g Smoked Salmon
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Taragon
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Lemon

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Boil the penne pasta in a large pan of water with about a tablespoon of salt, according to packet instructions - probably about 10 minutes. Drain well as soon as it is cooked.

Step 2: Prepare Other Ingredients

Chop the salmon into fine pieces. Remove the leaves from two stalks of taragon and chop roughly. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze juice from one half.

Step 3: Combine

Take the pan of pasta and add the creme fraiche, salmon and taragon. Add lots of black pepper, and give everything a good stir. Serve, decorated with a sprig of taragon if you wish.
