Bow-Tie Pasta With Smoked Salmon (Farfalle Al Salmone Affunicato image

Fabulous, quick and tasty pasta dish. I make this often and my husband inhales this (it is a sight to behold, let me tell you). Serve with a big loaf of garlic bread and your guests will be in heaven. It serves 4 people (well, normal people- my husband can eat more than half of this himself) but you can easily double for a larger crowd.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb bow tie pasta (farfalle)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons purple onions, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced (or more)
8 ounces smoked salmon, flaked into chunks
4 -6 ounces vodka (start with 4 the first time and adjust up if you like more next time)
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil water and cook pasta according to package directions. DO NOT ever add oil to the water! It will make the sauce slide off the pasta later.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter and add onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onion starts to sweat and soften. Add salmon and cook until it starts to cook a little, about 2-3 minutes. Add vodka and flame off alcohol.
  • Add the cream, tomato sauce, basil, salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a boil and simmer, reducing until it is thick, about 8 minutes or so.
  • Serve over pasta and enjoy! Pass the grated cheese on the side.
