Simple and rich in taste, it will open up your heart to want a little more. It’s also an excellent ‘primo piatto’, or first course, which can forgo many main fish dishes.

What makes Tagliatelle with Salmon and Broccoli delicious is the combination of the ingredients: they match together gloriously, and they will warm up the winter days and refresh the soul in summer. Good to eat and easy to prepare, what more could one ask for?

Ingredients serves 4

• Fresh salmon, 3 fillets

• Broccoli, 300 g

• Double cream, 200 ml

• White wine (optional), 60 ml

• Fresh tagliatelle, 500 g

• Onion, 1 small

• Extra virgin olive oil (EVO), 4-5 tbsp

• Salt and pepper

Let’s jump to the method

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.

2. Prepare all the ingredients.

3. Rinse the salmon and broccoli under running water. Place them in separate containers.

4. Coat the salmon fillets with olive oil and arrange them in an oven-safe dish. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 8 minutes, then remove and set aside.

5. Meanwhile, chop the broccoli into florets approximately 3 x 4 cm (no need for exact measurements, just approximate!).

6. Finely dice the onion.

7. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking the tagliatelle later.

8. In a large frying pan, heat 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil until it begins to bubble lightly, then add the chopped onion and fry until golden, not burnt.

9. Add the broccoli and mix with the onion. Pour in half a glass of water and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

10. After 5 minutes, check the broccoli. It should be tender but still firm, or ‘al dente’.

11. Next, add the salmon cut into small pieces or cubes, mix all the ingredients and cook together for 5 minutes.

12. Season with salt and pepper, add the white wine. Allow the alcohol to evaporate, then add the cream and let it thicken slightly. This will take about 4-5 minutes, and the dish will be ready.

13. With the sauce ready and the water boiling, add salt to the water and then the tagliatelle. Ideally, use 1 litre of water and 10 g of salt per 100 g of pasta.

14. Enjoy Tagliatelle with Salmon and Broccoli and Buon appetito!
