Spaghetti With Smoked Salmon and Mascarpone

This is an impressive-looking yet quick recipe. Extremely yummie both in its full-fat and low-fat versions. I'll post the full-fat version and incude low-fat suggestions in the description. No matter which version you decide on, I'm sure you'll love it!! Great for a romantic dinner or to impress guests. One more thing: if you go for the full-fat version you'll only need tiny portions because it's very heavy.
