- 1 1/2 tbsp Garden Veggie Mix
- 1 4oz package smoked lox, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup capers
- fresh dill for garnish
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese and garden veggie mix in a small saucepan and heat over medium low heat. Using a whisk, incorporate the cream cheese into the heavy cream to make a smooth sauce as it heats. When the pasta is done cooking but before you drain it, add a ladle of pasta water into the sauce and whisk in.
Drain pasta and return to pan. Pour sauce over top and gently mix in smoked salmon, red onion & capers. Add into 3 bowls and garnish with fresh dill.
