By Leite's Culinaria

Ingredients

7 ounces spaghetti
2 1/4 ounces smoked salmon
Zest of 1 lemon (grated (about 1 tablespoon))
2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh chives
4 to 6 tablespoons heavy cream (more as needed)
Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt

Instructions

Pull out a large saucepan and fill with at least 8 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boiling and add salt. Drop in your pasta and cook according to the package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, slice the salmon into thin slivers.

Drain the pasta well and return it to the saucepan over low heat.

Add the salmon, lemon zest, chives, and 4 tablespoons cream to the pasta and stir well to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Be careful here, as smoked salmon can be quite salty in itself, so you'll want to sneak a taste before seasoning. Serve immediately.
