When simplicity is charged: the recipe that I present today is prepared in 10 minutes and is good, elegant and particular. The lemon pasta with fresh salmon, pistachios and chives is a triumph of taste: the acidity of the lemon, the taste of fresh salmon (from just blanch, so remains soft), the chive herb aromas and crunchy pistachios. The shadow of butter is necessary because it gives the dish a creaminess and softness perfect. Nobody will understand that it is a recipe fast. The execution times, In fact, They are really minimal, but the dish is highly effective also for the presence of salmon eggs, great tasting. If you do not find, you can replace them with lumpfish roe. If you love pasta with fresh salmon and without cream, also check out the pasta with fennel and salmon pesto (also this delicious both hot and cold) and the cremosissimi maltagliati egg with salmon and Robiola.
