Description
A quick and indulgent smoked salmon carbonara that combines creamy pasta with savory garlic and bold flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g spaghetti
- 150g smoked salmon, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 100ml heavy cream
- 50g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, avoiding browning it too much.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, use tongs to transfer it directly from the pot to the skillet and remove from heat.
- Quickly stir in the egg mixture until the spaghetti is coated and creamy.
- Fold in the sliced smoked salmon gently.
- Serve right away, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a creative twist, try using Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan, or add baby spinach and capers for extra flavor.
