Calories: 716 per serving
Ingredients:
200g spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 courgette, halved and sliced
100g crème fraiche
Juice of half a lemon
100g smoked salmon slices, cut into thin strips
Fresh dill & remaining half a lemon cut into wedge to serve (optional)
Method:
Break the spaghetti in half and cook it according to the instructions on the packet. This should take around 10 - 12 minutes.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan and stir fry the courgette and the garlic for around 4 minutes until the courgette is just cooked through but still has plenty of bite.
When the spaghetti is cooked, add it to the courgettes and stir through the crème fraiche and lemon juice as quickly as possible. Use some of the cooking water from the pasta if you need to loosen the crème fraiche.
Stir through the smoked salmon and serve immediately topped with dill and with extra lemon wedges.
