Impress last-minute guests with Nerys Howel’s deliciously simple Peppered Salmon pasta dish!

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 x 100g Peppered Oak Roasted Salmon, flaked
500g Fresh linguine pasta
50g Smoked Cheddar with Paprika, grated
100ml Fino Olive Oil
70g Rocket leaves
25g Unsalted, shelled pistachio nuts
2 tsp Halen Môn Sea Salt
A few cracks of Black Pepper
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Blitz the rocket, Smoked Cheddar with Paprika and Halen Môn Sea Salt. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the Fino Olive Oil until the mixture is emulsified. Taste and season with black pepper.

If you would rather not make your own, simply substitute this step for 150g of pre-made pesto.

Boil the pasta as per pack instructions (this is usually 2-4 minutes). Reserve 1/2 a cup of pasta water on draining. Return the pasta and water to the saucepan, stir in the pesto.

Gently break apart the Peppered Oak Roasted Salmon and place within the pasta.  Season with black pepper and  a splash of lemon juice. Serve topped with fresh rocket.

Enjoy!
