Quick and tasty recipe for pasta with lemon pesto and smoked salmon. The blended lemon with nuts and Parmesan creates a creamy pesto that combines with the sautéed salmon to dress the pasta.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Prepare the sauce: slice the leek and sauté it in a pan with a drizzle of oil; season with salt. After a few minutes, add the salmon cut into pieces and cook briefly.
In the meantime, prepare the lemon pesto: blend the juice and zest of the lemon with the nuts, Parmesan, a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper until a smooth cream is obtained.
Drain the pasta al dente, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water; transfer it to the pan with the salmon and mix.
Off the heat, add the lemon pesto to the pasta and combine; if necessary, add a few teaspoons of cooking water to adjust the creaminess.
