Salmon Pasta

So this isn't entirely from scratch which makes me mad but thats all my host mom had in the fridge (sauf the champignons and the creme fraiche which I got from monoprix). This meal only serves two as opposed to four by the way.

Time to Prepare: ~20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 tbsp creme fraiche (sour cream if you're in America)
6-8 mushrooms (the really regular kind that are white in a usually blue container)
1/2 of a lemon
cold smoked salmon (this was what I had ready made. scroll to the bottom for instructions with real salmon)
2 cloves of garlic
spices: basil, pepper (thats all I had :( )
olive oil
macaroni (or spaghetti)

Cookware:
pot
skillet

Directions:
1. cut the musrooms into slices (each mushroom makes about 4-6 slices)
2. cut the fish into pieces a bit smaller than the mushroom pieces (or use your hands to piece the fish)
3. cut the garlic into tiny pieces
4. bring the pasta to a boil (add a bit of oil to the water)
5. while the pasta is boiling, saute the garlic and mushrooms in a bit of oil
6. when the mushrooms are brownish and have shrunk, lower the heat to medium and add the fish. take care not to burn your fish!
6. Add the creme fraiche to the fish and mushrooms, and squeeze the lemon into the sauce also.
7. lower the heat to medium/low, and add your spices. Leave to simmer until the pasta is done.
8. when your pasta is done, pour out the water and mix the pasta in with the sauce.
9. Eat.


simple recipe, not sumer yum yum yum yum, but also not bad for something to cook after you get home from work.

Using fresh salmon:
1. cut the salmon into a few chunks small enough to fit in a pot
2. bring pot of water to boil, and boil the salmon for about 5 minutes or so
3. take the skin off the salmon (if it doesnt just peel off your salmon is too raw)
4. follow the above recipe
