Method
- Cook the pasta to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml pasta water.
- Add the basil stalks, peas and the reserved pasta water to a large sauté or frying pan and cook for 2-3 mins until the peas are cooked and the liquid is simmering.
- Stir in the pasta, break up the salmon and add that too. Remove from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche and most of the cheese; mix well. Season to taste, then scatter with the basil leaves and remaining cheese to serve.
- For a thicker sauce, swap the crème fraîche and grated cheese for 50g garlic & herb soft cheese, or use a little less pasta water.
