Instructions

1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil on medium high heat. While the water comes to the boil, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Trim the courgette then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.

2

Halve the chilli lengthways, de-seed then finely chop. Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all). Grate the lemon zest (leave to the side) and then halve the lemon. Put the chilli and parsley in a bowl and squeeze in the lemon juice and the olive oil (see ingredient list for amount). Add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix together with a fork.

3

Add the pasta to the boiling water and simmer until tender, 8 mins. When the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander, pop back into the pan, drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

4

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, 4-5 mins. Stir occasionally. Once soft, add the courgette along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the courgette has softened too, 5 mins, stir occasionally.

5

Pour the water (see ingredient list for amount) and the vegetable stock powder into the frying pan and stir everything together. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, 3-4 mins. Gently stir in the crème fraiche and smoked salmon and bring to a simmer again. Simmer until everything is piping hot and the salmon is cooked through and piping hot, 2 mins. 

6

Add the drained pasta to the frying pan along with the lemon zest, and toss everything together. Add a splash more water if the sauce has reduced a little too much. Taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. Serve the pasta in bowls with the chilli parsley drizzle on top and enjoy!
