Smoked Salmon Cream Sauce, a delicious Italian Pasta Sauce, made with smoked salmon, tomato purée and cream. So Good.

We always hear people talking about how important it is to eat fish. Well this Smoked Salmon Cream Sauce makes it so easy to eat fish.

How fish has many health benefits and it improves and strengthens your brain cells (at least that is what my husband always tells our kids).

I remember him telling our oldest daughter as she would drag herself to the table after an often very intense day of studying classical high school here in Italy, “Mangia ti fa bene, Eat the fish it’s good for you”, and I have to say this was and still is her favourite pasta.

Not at all difficult to make and done in 30 minutes more or less.

Smoked salmon can be done so many ways, as an antipasto on bruschetta, served with a salad, on a pizza but one of the best ways is in a creamy tomato sauce served with a short al dente pasta, penne or rigatoni are perfect for this recipe.

The addition of a couple of cut up carrots adds extra taste and the flavour of the cooked carrots is delicious, Everyone will want a taste.

So start boiling the water and let’s get cooking. Buon Appetito!
