  • 3.5 oz smoked salmon 100 gr
  • 1 tablespoon butter

  3. In a medium pan, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté for a couple of minutes, medium/low heat.
  4. Add the wine and let it evaporate - alcohol smell gone.
  5. Pour in brandy and let it evaporate as well, a minute or two. Repeat with the liquor.
  6. Add the heavy cream and ketchup to the pan, mix well, adjust for salt, cook a couple of minutes for the cream to condense a bit.

  8. Cook pasta "al dente" according to package directions, drain it, and season it with the salmon condiment.
  9. Serve hot sprinkled with more parsley if you please.
