Instructions

Put a large pan of water onto boil for the pasta. When it starts to boil add some salt and bring to the boil again.

In the meantime, wash the zucchini, pat dry and cut off the ends. Cut the zucchini lengthwise in 4 parts. Cut each quarter in two and cut into cubes.

Put the cream in a bowl and mix in the grated ginger, a little orange zest and some black pepper. Set aside.

Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan or skillet and add the crushed garlic cloves. As soon as the garlic begins to soften, add the zucchini and sauté for a couple of minutes.

As soon as the zucchini become translucent, add the smoked salmon in pieces. Remove the garlic.

Cook the salmon with the zucchini for a couple of minutes then add the cream mixture.

Turn down the heat, stir well and allow to cook for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet. When the pasta is ready, save a cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Mix well. If it seems dry, add a little of the pasta cooking water.

Serve immediately with a sprinkling of orange zest, and pepper if required.
