Smoked salmon linguine

 

It might seem a bit summery for an autumnal Sunday tea - but I added a bit of zing with chilli, and it was fresh and tasty, but also filling and satisfying - and very quick to make.  If you started with water boiled in the kettle I think it could be on the table in 15 minutes.

I made it with linguine - but it would also be good with shorter pasta - which would be ideal packed into a tub for work lunches.

Linguine (or pasta shapes)

Olive oil

Onion

Red pepper

Mushrooms

Frozen peas

Chillli flakes

Cherry tomatoes/baby plum tomatoes

Smoked salmon 

1.  Put salted water on the boil for the pasta - bung it in when it's a a rolling boil (follow instructions for timings on the packet).

2.  Sautee chopped onion in olive oil until translucent.

3.  Add the other vegetables to the softened onion, with a pinch of chilli flakes, and sautee gently for a few minutes.

4.  When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the vegetables, add chopped up smoked salmon, and toss around to mix thoroughly.

5.  Serve, scoff ... it was really delicious.
