Farfalle with Smoked Salmon and Peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
12 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 cup frozen peas
4-ounce package smoked salmon, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
While the water heats, combine the olive oil, onion, garlic and red pepper (if using) in a large skillet set over a medium-high heat. Saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and just translucent, about 6 minutes.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, or just firm at the center, about 8 minutes, or as the packaging directs.
While the pasta cooks, add the peas to the onions and cook until peas are heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Once the pasta has cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer it and a bit of the water clinging to it to the skillet. If you would rather drain the pasta, first reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and add it to the skillet along with the pasta.
Add the salmon, dill and lemon zest to the skillet and toss well to combine. The heat of the pasta will mostly cook the salmon, but it need not be cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Makes 4 servings.
