Ingredients

10 ounces dried linguine*
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil*
1 tablespoon butter*
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine (or 2 tablespoons lemon juice in 1/4 cup water)
3/4 cup half and half
1 cup frozen peas*
1 (4-ounce) package smoked salmon, cut into thin strips*
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges

Method

Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Sauté shallots 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add white wine and simmer until reduced by half, another 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat, add half and half and peas and gently simmer 2 to 3 minutes more before adding salmon and dill. Heat through and let sauce thicken slightly. Drain pasta and toss in pan with sauce to coat. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.
