30 mins

A twist on the classic carbonara. The richness & smokiness of Aoraki’s Pōhutukawa Hot Smoked Salmon is a great alternative for the pancetta or bacon that is traditionally in this dish.

300g Aoraki Pōhutukawa Hot Smoked Salmon

140g fresh pappardelle

100ml cream

1 x whole egg

25g finely grated parmesan cheese

Step 2

Step 3

Melt butter in a pot large enough to hold the pasta.

Step 4

Quickly put the diced onion in the butter and cook until soft.

Step 5

Remove from heat and add the pasta. Then add the whisked egg, cream & cheese mixture to the still warm pasta

Step 6

Stir the warm pot for approximately 2 minutes

Step 7
