A creamy sauce of salmon and asparagus on top of spaghetti is garnished with caviar. This fast and easy pasta dish is simple and elegant.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1-1/2 pounds spaghetti
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound asparagus spears, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound smoked salmon, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup Sevruga caviar

Preparation:

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, adding a teaspoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of salt. Cook the spaghetti until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Heat the butter, heavy cream, and asparagus in a nonstick saucepan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat. Stir in the salmon and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.

Drain the pasta in a colander. Tip it into a bowl and add the sauce. Toss lightly. Top with caviar and serve at once, preferably with a few slices of rough country bread.

Yield: 4 servings
