Ingredients
- 125 g fresh lasagne sheets
- 2 spring onions
- 80 g spinach
- 60 g smoked salmon (2 slices)
- ½ a lemon
- 5 g Parmesan cheese
- olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cottage cheese
- optional: extra virgin olive oil
Method
Start by slicing the lasagne sheets lengthways in half, then into 2cm strips. If you have a crinkle-cut knife, it will give the pasta an even more rustic look. Trim the spring onions and finely chop along with the spinach. Dice half of the salmon and mix together with the spring onions and spinach.
In a separate bowl, grate the lemon zest and parmesan. Heat a large frying pan on high heat, drizzle with olive oil and add the spring onions, spinach, chopped salmon and lemon zest. Then, add the pasta to the pan and pour boiling water until it just covers the pasta – approximately 250ml.
Allow it to simmer for about four minutes, or until the pasta has soaked up most of the water and a sauce has formed in the pan. Add more water if necessary and remember to stir frequently. Once you’re satisfied with the sauce, switch off the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir in the cottage cheese and grated parmesan.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking, tear over the remaining salmon, and garnish with another drizzle of olive oil. Dish it out into a bowl and savour.
