Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Capers image

Provided by Mitchell Davis

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 pound smoked salmon, chopped
1 cup heavy cream (a.k.a. whipping cream)
3 tablespoons capers, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta, cooked al dente, drained (reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water), and tossed with olive oil
N/A olive oil
Freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Smoked Salmon Ravioli with Lemon Dijon Cream, Red Onions, Dill and Capers Recipe image

Provided by rdgplus3

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz/250 g smoked salmon pieces
4 oz/125 g cream cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
8 (4") fresh pasta squares (I found these at the Italian Centre Shop, in the freezer section)
Semolina flour or cornmeal for dusting
1 tbsp butter 2 tbsp coarse grain mustard
1/4 cup minced red onion 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Zest and juice of 2 lemons 1 cup heavy cream
Fresh dill sprigs 2 tbsp capers (drained)

Steps:

Puree the smoked salmon and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Place a large spoonful of the mixture on the center of each pasta square. Moisten your fingers and rub around the edges of the pasta until it is slightly sticky. Fold over the square to form a triangle. With your fingers, force out any air pockets and press the filling into an even layer, leaving a 1" border. Pinch the edges tightly together to seal the raviolis. Let the raviolis dry for several hours to strengthen the seal; sprinkle them with semolina flour or cornmeal and rest on wax paper in an airtight container. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and red onions and sauté them until the onions are softened. Stir in the lemon juice, the mustards and cream. Continue simmering until the mixture is reduced by half. Season it with salt and pepper. While the sauce reduces, bring a large pot of water to a gentle rolling boil. Season it heavily with salt; it should taste pleasantly salty. Add the raviolis and cook until the pasta is just done and the contents are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the raviolis with a strainer and drain them well. Pour a quarter of the sauce into each of 4 heated shallow pasta bowls. Place two of the raviolis in the sauce with one overlapping the other. Top with a capers and fresh dill sprigs.
