Ingredients
 
 

  • 5.5 ounces spaghetti No.7 or bucatini
  • 5.5 ounces smoked salmon
  • 2 small red bell peppers cut into thin strips
  • 5.5 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 ounces mascarpone
  • 2 ounces tomato paste
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 3 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • grated Parmesan for serving

Instructions
 

  • Get all the prep done before you start cooking: cut the salmon into strips, mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
    Cut the bell peppers in half, remove seeds and veins, then cut the bell peppers into thin slices.
  • Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high. Add bell peppers and cook, while stirring occasionally until soft, for about 8-10 minutes. Lower the heat if the peppers brown too fast.
  • In the meantime, cook spaghetti in a large pot of generously salted boiling water, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
  • Add garlic to the peppers, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spices and tomatoes, cook for 5 minutes. Pour in white wine, and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, mascarpone and parsley. Add a splash of cooking water and stir until combined. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Toss with spaghetti and add smoked salmon. Simmer, while gently tossing, for 1 minute. Add more cooking water to create a glossy sauce. Adjust salt and pepper to your own taste.
  • Divide pasta among deep bowls, top with grated parmesan and some extra red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
