Ingredients
Serves approx. 2 hungry people
Approx. 200 grams of dried pasta
2 salmon fillets
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons of Greek style yoghurt
A few basil leaves
Approx. 150 grams parmesan, more if you love it.
Salt and pepper
Lemon zest
What to do…
Cook the pasta to the packet instructions.
While the pasta is cooking add all the other ingredients (apart from the salmon and basil) to a large bowl, big enough to fit the pasta and the salmon also. Mix the egg york, cheese, yoghurt and zest with the salt and pepper. This is your raw sauce,
ready to be soaked up by the hot steamy pasta.
When the pasta is ready, drain but save the pasta water, this will be needed later. Tip the hot pasta into the raw sauce and stir, quickly flake that salmon into the pasta and stir again, add a few tablespoons of the pasta water to create a creamy texture and that’s it! It’s ready to serve.
Top with extra parmesan and the basil leaves, eat immediately
