150g dried linguine, tagliatelle or spaghetti
½ red onion diced
½ courgette in ribbons
½ tub of cream cheese (with herbs, chilli or salmon)
2 tbsp milk
1 large squeeze of lemon juice
Black pepper
70g Smoked salmon (trimmings work really well) - miss it out or swap for cured meat if you’d prefer
14 cherry tomatoes halved
¼ of a pepper finely diced
2 large handfuls of green leaves / salad leaves
Method
Cook the pasta according to the instructions or use leftover pasta, once cooked drain it ready to use
In a deep frying pan over a medium heat fry the red onion until soft then add the courgette and cook for 2 minutes
Add the cream cheese and stir to melt then add the milk to thin the sauce
Add the lemon and a sprinkle of black pepper to taste then stir in the drained pasta
Stir in the smoked salmon until it’s well coated
If you are going to eat it hot…
Transfer to serving bowls and top with cherry tomatoes, peppers and shredded green leaves / salad leaves and a little extra black pepper
If you are making it for your lunch box…
Portion the salmon mix into lunchboxes and leave to cool
Top the cooled pasta and salmon with salad, tomatoes and pepper ready to enjoy cold at lunchtime
If you’re not a fan of salmon simply swap it for cured meat or miss it out altogether to make a veggie version.
