Method

  • step 1

    Cook the spaghetti. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan, add the garlic and gently sizzle for 1 min. Remove from the heat.

  • step 2

    Lightly beat the cream, eggs, softened garlic and half the Parmesan in a bowl. Stir in the smoked salmon trimmings.

  • step 3

    Drain the pasta well and return to the pan. Add the salmon mixture and the chives, then toss well so the heat from the pasta lightly thickens the sauce. Serve scattered with the remaining Parmesan and plenty of black pepper.

A lot saucier than I expected - a side of garlic bread should be mandatory!

Absolutely not a carbonara 60 million Italians would scream NO NO ! You never combine fish with dairy! Full stop! And you don’t ever make any carbonara with cream ! Eggs and Parmesan only !

Carbonara translates as - the way charcoal burners make it. If making pasta with smoked salmon they might well do it this way. Though even more likely with whatever was to hand - local ingredients prepared well as Michelin says. No fish with dairy puts an end to many fish sauces, it even ends…

Delicious recipe…..just quite high in calories but worth it just to use up smoked salmon 😁

Very nice and easy recipe. Tastes delicious! I personally add a bit more Parmesan and a bit of pepper to season. Very tasty indeed

I would definitely add more cheese next time and let the sauce cook longer to thicken up.
