I love fast pasta recipes. Quicker than calling for takeaway, this dish can be made in 15 minutes. Using a luxury ingredient like smoked salmon may seem expensive. But in this dish, a little goes a long way. Including Omega 3 in your diet is vital to good health, and this is a super easy way to look after your body and satisfy your tummy – Italian style!
Grill your own capsicum if you like, but if you’re after fast and easy, go for a jar. This dish is wonderfully creamy and sweet. The capers give it the little salty kick it needs to keep everything balanced.
