Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente according to package directions.
  2. While pasta cooks, place a large frying pan over high heat.
  3. Add white vinegar and chopped onion to the pan.
  4. Boil vigorously, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar has almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add whipping cream, dry white wine, and Dijon mustard.
  6. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, uncovered, stirring often.
  7. Continue cooking until the sauce reduces to approximately 1-3/4 cups and thickens slightly.
  8. Drain the hot pasta and add it directly to the sauce in the pan.
  9. Toss the pasta with two forks to coat evenly with the sauce.
  10. Divide the pasta evenly among four dinner plates.
  11. Sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.
  12. Arrange smoked salmon strips beside the pasta on each plate.
  13. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs.
  14. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Note

The smoked salmon is added at the end to keep it cold and delicate, contrasting with the hot pasta.

Do not overcook the sauce after adding the cream to prevent splitting; reduce only until slightly thickened.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.

This dish is best served immediately while the pasta is hot and the salmon is cold.
