Ingredients

  • 400g tagliatelle pasta
  • 400g salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 150g raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes
  • 200g fresh or frozen peas
  • 240ml unsweetened oat milk
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large shallot, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 150ml vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

1

Drain the soaked cashews and blend with oat milk, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, half the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until completely smooth. Set aside.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook tagliatelle according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 120ml pasta water before draining.

3

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Remove and flake into large chunks.

4

In the same pan, add remaining olive oil and sauté shallot for 2 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5

Add peas and vegetable stock, cooking for 3 minutes until peas are bright green and tender.

6

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the cashew cream sauce. Stir gently and simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through, adding pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.

7

Add the cooked tagliatelle to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Fold in the lemon zest and remaining lemon juice.

8

Gently fold in the flaked salmon, being careful to keep chunks intact. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

9

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh dill, chives, and extra lemon zest.
