“This is my version of one of Abigail Donnelly’s recipes. The capers cut through the richness of the creamy sauce, and flaking over Woolworths’ hot-smoked salmon at the end is easy genius.” – Hannah Lewry.

Ingredients

Method
  • 500 g Woolworths organic penne rigate pasta
  • 1x140 g jar Woolworths sundried tomato pesto
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cream
  • 1 x 80 g pack Woolworths hot-smoked salmon with pepper, mustard and dill, flaked
  • 50 g capers
  • Italian parsley, to garnish

Method

Ingredients

1. Cook the penne according to package instructions, reserving some of the cooking water.

2. Heat the tomato pesto in a large saucepan, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring. Add half a ladleful of the reserved pasta water and cook the sauce until reduced by half.

3. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, then reduce over a low heat until thickened. Season to taste.

4. Toss the hot pasta through the sauce and serve topped with the capers, flaked salmon and parsley.

Cook's note: Can’t find sundried tomato pesto? Use chopped sundried tomatoes or Woolies’ long-life sundried tomato stir-through pasta sauce.
