This Japanese twist on one of my all time favourite recipes, my smoked salmon, dill, white wine and cream tagliatelle, is perfect for a quick yet impressiveValentine's Day supper, whether you are whipping up a romantic dinner for 2 for you and your other half, or are using this day to celebrate being single and staying (just about) sane in the rather strange times we find ourselves living in right now.
The wasabi infused cream sauce with ginger is a dream and pretty mild, so don't be put off by the potential heat, and works a treat when tossed with ribbons of pappardelle and smoked salmon.
Made in under 30 minutes, this dish looks and tastes restaurant quality when plated up and will impress your loved ones, no matter who they are, or work perfectly for a solo dinner! Cooking for me is a form of love anyway, especially when you make lovely dishes like this.
