PRESENTATION

Recipe by
Gessica Runcio

Remember our fusilli with zucchini pesto and salmon? A creamy and delicately flavored first course that highlights a winning and timeless combination: salmon and zucchini. Inspired by this inseparable pairing, we have reversed the preparations. In this recipe for pasta with salmon and zucchini cream, it is the salmon, combined with cream, that becomes a soft cream. The zucchini will be the solid part of the dish, diced and sautéed. The same flavors and aromas in a different but captivating guise, which will win you over at the first bite! Also try the pasta with smoked salmon for an equally creamy variant.
