quick and yummy!! used canned salmon that i have been meaning to get rid of. taglorini pasta, held sauce beautifully! used less whipped cream. didn't have tomato paste so i used sundried oil packed tomatoes.

This is very quick and easy to make, and tastes great. I used a packet of Barilla #13 bavette, 300 grams of smoked salmon, pure cream, 1 1/2 tsp of dried dill tips, and everything else as listed. I also added a little sea salt and plenty of cracked black pepper. Next time I'll use fresh dill and will add a bit more tomato paste. My SO gives it a 5!

Made this with orecchiette tonight and it was very delicious. I followed the recipe and didn't need the extra cooking liquid; had plenty of yummy sauce.
