~25 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4):
  350g Tagliatelle (or other pasta)
  1 tbsp olive oil
  3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  5 tbsp creme fraiche (150-200ml)
  1 lemon, zested (finely grated) and juiced
  2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  200g smoked salmon, torn into strips
  30g fresh chives or dill, finely chopped
  70g bag rocket, to serve
  Optionally:
  2-3 tbsp mascarpone with creme fraiche for extra-creamy sauce

Instructions:
  - Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than pack instructions
  - Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and fry for 2-3 mins until softened but not coloured. Stir in the creme fraiche, lemon juice, Parmesan and 2 ladles of pasta cooking water. Allow to bubble gentry for 1 minute.
  - Drain the pasta and mix into the sauce in the frying pan. Cook for a further 2 mins or until reduced to a creamy sauce that coats the pasta.
  - Stir through the smoked salmon and chives, season with black pepper, then divide between 4 bowls. Garnish with the lemon zest and top with a handful of rocket.
