Preparation

Finely chop the garlic. Wash and chop 3 or 4 medium sized continental zucchini (cut these into bayonets approximately 10cm long and 2mm thick). Roughly separate and then tear/chop smoked salmon (at least 200g) into strips approx 2cm long. Quarter a lemon.

Place a large pot full of water on to boil for the pasta. Lightly braise the finely chopped garlic and add 2/3 tinned anchovies and cook until they begin to melt. Add a splash of white wine.

Add the zucchini strips and toss until they begin to soften. Add capers (I prefer the smaller ones) and a tub of light thickened cream. Allow to simmer (10mins on low heat so that sauce reduces). Cook your pasta (I prefer a tagliatelle or fettuccine). Stir in the salmon and allow sauce to simmer for 2 minutes. Grate Parmesan into sauce and season to taste.

Ladle over strained pasta and serve with lemon wedge.

Yummy....

This was really good. I didn't have any zucchini but I had a cucumber so I cut that up. Probably not very masterchef but it still looked and tasted fantastic. I only used 250g of fettucini and it was the right amount. I didn't add the parmesan cheese because it is too strong and overpowers the delicate salmon flavour. Used canned red salmon. All in all a fabulous meal that I loved.

How to cook beetroot

To minimise bleeding during cooking do not peel the beetroot (the skin holds the colour) and leave a portion of the stem in place. Boil in salted water or bake in the oven wrapped in foil at 180°C.
