This smoked salmon pasta is divinely simple and takes less than 15 minutes. The creamy smokey sauce is quite luxurious but also comforting. This has been my go-to smoked salmon pasta since my student days in Switzerland and now my children love it too.

I come from a salmon country, in Ireland, we really love our smoked salmon and are lucky enough to have some of the finest salmon swimming in our waters. Salmon fishing  is tightly controlled to so as to protect the wild stocks; I remember how excited my brother was when he got his first license as a teenager.  I am such  a salmon devotee that I have been known to get whole sides of Irish smoked salmon shipped to Asia when I feel homesick. 

This 15-minute pasta with crab recipe is deliciously light and luxurious but packs a taste punch with the earthiness of garlic, the heat of chili, the zing of lemon, and the savoury freshness of parsley. Crabmeat is high in protein and low in fat, making this a low calories pasta dish. This is such an easy dish to make but sophisticated enough to impress your guests.

This is my version of linguine al granchio or linguine with crab, which is typical of Venice and towns along the Adriatic coast. I think curly pasta holds a sauce like this better than smooth linguine so I used fusilli lunghi bucati or long curly fusilli, which is traditionally served with Neapolitan sauces but, hey, I’m not Italian, so it works for me in this crab pasta dish.

This easy pasta with zucchini recipe is smooth and silky with delicious pistachio nuts. Green and healthy.
