Tagliatelle with Smoked Salmon, Dill & Capers in a Garlic Cream Sauce

I prefer pastas in an oil based sauce because it's healthier. But sometimes, one can indulge. This pasta has a cream based sauce, but it's light. Instead of using full cream, I used light sour cream and some of the pasta water to make sure it's moist. Despite the substitutions, it's just as delicious! It is very easy to make too. Perfect for a quick, home cooked weekend lunch!

Breakfast Quesadilla

This quesadilla was inspired by something I always eat for breakfast whenever I stay at the Westin Cincinnati Hotel, while on business trip to the global headquarters. The American version is HUGE (am I surprised?) and contains corned beef hash, an omelet and lots of cheese. This smaller version has the omelet, homemade shoestring potatoes, smoked salmon and cheese, and it's not as huge a portion as the original I ate. It's served with sour cream and fresh basil leaves.

Spaghettini with Roe, Dill & Smoked Salmon

It's Good Friday, so no meat allowed for Christians. Here's a seafood pasta dish, that's fragrant due to the fresh dill herbs and a sprinkling of yuzu pepper. Very unique and refreshing.
