Farfalle pasta with smoked salmon, zucchini and tomatoes

Another quick and delicious pasta recipe. I make this all year round but cherry tomatoes are now ripe and at their sweetest and of course more affordable.

prep time 10 min     cook time 10 min
ingredients for 4
  • 400g farfalle pasta or pasta of your choice
  • 200g smoked salmon
  • 2 zucchini, cut in rounds
  • 12-14 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 garlic glove
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • parsley to garnish

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions but drain it 2 minutes before it is cooked. Save a glass of the pasta water.

2. While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large pan over medium high and add  garlic clove and let cook for a few minutes before adding tomatoes cut in half. Cook them for a few minutes at high heat, don’t forget to add some salt and pepper.

3. Add the zucchini rounds to the pan and let cook for a few minutes. Don’t cook too long, the zucchini should be a little crunchy.

4. Add the salmon cut in small pieces and let it cook only for 1-2 minutes until it has changed colour.

5. When the pasta is cooked, add the pasta to the pan, mix thoroughly with the condiment and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.

6. Serve with some chopped loose leaf parsley.

BUON APPETITO!
