9 Steps

  • Step 1

    In a large pot bring 4 litres of water to a boil, salt liberally. Add dry egg pasta and boil approximately 4 minutes until the pasta is 'al dente', or 'firm to the bite'.

  • Step 2

    Before straining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Strain pasta and return to cooking pot removed from heat. Toss pasta lightly with olive oil to avoid sticking.

    In a heavy saucepan melt butter and cream gently over medium-high heat until bubbles form (approximately 4 minutes).

  • Step 4

    Add salt, white pepper, lemon pepper and chopped leeks. Stir, continue cooking for 1 minute more over medium-high.

  • Step 5

    Add fresh salmon cubes to simmering sauce, stir, cook for 2 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Add pasta to sauce, stir to coat and remove from heat.

  • Step 7

    Tear dill sprig and stir to finish.

  • Step 8

    Add a touch of reserved pasta water to thin sauce if needed.

  • Step 9

    Using tongs clockwise, twirl to plate!
