Cream based pasta is one of the main contributors to my 18kg weight gain in my first few years in Melbourne. How i loved -and still love all the cheap and nasty carbonaras and cream based marinaras from Lygon St...
This is my first attempt at home made cream based pasta and must admit that it was one of the Best pastas i have ever had! yes, i'm not shy and would like to share with you my very affordable (costs ard A$7 per serve) and savoury recipe.
Salmon Spaghetti in an Avocado and Cream Sauce.
1) Boil Spaghetti (ard 300 grams serves 2 very hungry adults) and pull outta heat 1 minute before al dente texture is achieved
2) rinse spaghetti with cold water and set aside
3) fry one clove of minced garlic with a dash of olive oil in a large hot frying pan
4) when garlic is slightly browned, pour in thickened cream (ard 200ml)
5) put in diced avocado (1 whole avocado is way more than sufficient), and sprinkle some dried dill flakes, simmer on low heat
6) toss in spaghetti when cream is simmering, mix and coat spaghetti well with cream, simmer for another minute... you may wish to add some salt now but skimp on it as the smoked salmon will contribute a high percentage of sodium to this dish
7) fold in smoked salmon slices (300 grams or as much as you like) and turn off heat.
8) grind freshly cracked pepper and serve immediately.
A glass of chardonnay with this wouldn't hurt. -mi!

Hi,
I visited your site and found it very interesting. I appreciate the way you talk about food and do the reviews on restaurants. With this, I'd like to give a $10 discount voucher to your site which your visitors could use in their take-away orders placed on Menulog (from 500+ restaurants Australia-wide). All they have to do is just type the voucher code (which I will provide you upon response to this message) at the check out.
Thanks,
