Spaghetti with Creamy Smoked Salmon Sauce

Serves 6
By Marilyn Harris

A favorite elegant luncheon or dinner party entree. The cream sauce balances well with the rich flavors of the Smoked Salmon. Salmon is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Ingredients:
1 box Dreamfields Linguine or Spaghetti
4 green onions, washed and trimmed
3 ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 ounces smoked salmon, cut into small strips

Directions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cut the green onions into 2″ pieces and chop in the food processor, pulsing on and off. Add the softened cream cheese and blend together. Pour in the cream and process into a smooth sauce.
3. When the pasta is drained return it to the hot pot. Toss in the cheese mixture, tossing to coat the pasta well.
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss in the salmon strips.
5. Serve immediately.
