Creamy Pasta With Smoked Salmon, Arugula and Lemon Recipe (2024)

Or maybe try the arugula with he correct amount of the other ingredients. I have to say I never understand the desire to try a recipe on the first try and then start making changes and major substitutions and then say it didn’t work. How about trying it the way the recipe is written and then deciding if you like it or not. Your name is listed as K Wagner not Julia Child. Sorry just my opinion for what it’s worth.

Is this recipe calling for smoked salmon as in "lox" or a filet of salmon that has been smoked and usually thicker?

This is really good! I will say - no need to realllllyyyyy pack the arugula. I packed as much as I could into each cup and upset the balance a bit. Of course, the finer the chop of garlic the better. This is definitely a delicious recipe, especially as we wish for spring to come along...

This is a thicker filet of smoked salmon, not the packaged thin sliced used for appetizers. It's just been cut up into smaller pieces, thus it looks like cubed. That said, this version of smoked salmon isn't readily available in my city so I used the very good Norwegian smoked, thin sliced salmon with good results

It's good. Just make it and eat it.

I've made it with regular wild salmon (not smoked). I've used asparagus as well as broccoli, and a 1/2 cup of heavy cream and fresh parmesan. This is a recipe that can be adapted to your taste or to what's in your pantry. I prefer basil to dill.

Did you use hot smoked salmon? It doesn't say anything in the recipe but looks like the hot smoked kind not the cold smoked.

This was delicious. Don’t care for arugula, so substituted asparagus, which I sliced and threw into the pasta when it had about 30 seconds to go.

This recipe was perfect! We used freshly smoked salmon and full fat fa*ge Greek yogurt. Wouldn’t change a thing.

My experience tossing everything together is that the chunks of smoked salmon broke up too much. Next time I'll toss everything except the salmon, then gently fold in the salmon chunks.

I had MOST of the ingredients...I cook for one, so halved ingredients.Subbed in Montebellos's good fusilli pasta. Halfway through the cooking time added broccoli to the cooking water for a side dish. I don't like lemon much, so subbed in fresh lime and enjoyed the cooling flavor. Arugula may have been in the 'spring mix' on hand; I certainly loved the concept of fresh greens. in the sauce. Whole milk Greek yogurt made it all so creamy I didn't add butter. All so tasty and fun I had to post!

So much love or hate. Don’t use the vacuum packed smoked salmon which does come off as cat food. Use a hot smoked fillet, use the Meyer lemon and arugula. I can’t eat milk products so sautéed garlic in butter/olive oil with salt/pepper, added the lemon at the last and then the smoked salmon and turned off heat. Once pasta was done, added a little butter (and vodka if you like) to the pasta, mixed all ingredients off heat and let it sit to blend a little while I went to water my plants. Perfect!

Mixing the arugula in as specified gives the dish a mushy texture. I would mix it in at the end or use something different, like asparagus or zucchini as others have suggested. I also think adding something briny like capers or black olives would make it better.

Perfect response!!! LOL I love it

Use a little less lemon. We added bite sized zucchini.

I used smoked salmon from the Northwest. I mixed it all together and got what my so called a casserole. Next time I will blend the yogurt, dilll and garlic. The chop the arugula fiber and add it with the pasta. The salmon chunks will go last. Delish hot or cold.

Thanks it's a lifesaver and tasty dish for busy nights! I made it with what was in the fridge: cherry tomatoes (halved instead of aragula), chives (replaced dill). 👌

Too tart - maybe use less lemon? Spinach instead of arugula?

Too much arugula and lemon. Add cream?

This recipe was surprisingly bland! I couldn’t set it on the table without adding a few richer more flavorful ingredients like crème frèche and lots of Parmesan then it was ok but not amazing. Peas were also a good complement. But the whole thing was oddly bland when cooked as the recipe was written.

Sautéed garlic and 3 green onion in olive oil, very lowLinguiniUsed creme fraishe & frozen peas and chopped arugula and oli with garlic/green onion to the hot pot Added, zest, 1/2 lemon juice, pepper, little kosher salt, dill and pasta water. Allowed arugula to wilt and peas to unthaw Added smoked salmon and capers to top

Good! Easy. I didn’t use arugula, I sliced up a handful of my own fresh snow peas (raw) and added them along with some capers.

Add Creme Fraiche for a less sour yogurt taste and for some spice add Chili flakes.

Added more salmon. Yummy

ended up warming everything in the pot for awhile since it was so cool following final mixing

I used crème fraîche and spinach cuz that’s what I had and I thought this was so yummy!!!! I will be adding this to the rotation and it was super easy. I made a chopped salad with a lemon vinaigrette and it paired beautifully.

I added roasted butternut squash instead of arugula. Amazing! And i used kefir because I didn’t have greek yogurt. Complete success!

Just made this. I agree that the Greek yoghurt together with the lemon makes it a bit too tart. Next time I will also heat up the sauce, add the pasta, then fold in the smoked salmon at the very end. I found it hard to get the dish as hot as I would like it. (I did hear the plates first). Love all the ingredients though.

This dish is very good, I added a bit of rinsed capers, topped with grated parmesan. The lemon zest and juice make the dish and I added olive oil at the end.

Too much lemon
