Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups uncooked penne pasta
sea salt to taste
2 ½ cups chopped smoked salmon
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup chopped fresh dill
5 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water. Add sea salt to taste, and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Drain penne well, and reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
  • Return penne and reserved cup of pasta water to the empty pot and place over medium-low heat.
  • Stir smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill, green onions, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper into pasta until cream cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
