Creamy salmon and rocket pasta

Smoked salmon cream cheese takes all the fuss and expense out of the equation. But if you’re feeling especially decadent, stir in a handful of sliced smoked salmon strips (about 100g) at the end of cooking.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

300g pasta of your choice

200g smoked salmon cream cheese

1/4 cup (60ml) milk

very thinly sliced peel of 1/2 lemon

juice of 1/2 (about 2T) a lemon

1T (15ml) chives or dill, snipped with scissors

about 1/2 cup tighly packed well washed and torn rocket leaves

sea salt and milled pepper

Method

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. While it is cooking, gently heat the cream cheese, milk, lemon peel and lemon juice, stirring constantly, to form a creamy sauce. Add the herbs and rocket, and stir to wilt. Drain the pasta and stir in the sauce. Season well and serve immediately.

Hi There
I am keen to try out this recipe, but was wondering if you can replace the salmon cream cheese with normal cream cheese and rather add more smoked salmon strips toward the end?
Thanks
