Penne with salmon cream whiskey: smoked salmon abounds in the fridge at Christmas time, and a quick pasta with this much-loved fish is a must. This great classic of Christmas recipes involves the use of salmon with cream and vodka was used a lot in the 1980s style. I used whiskey which gives a slightly fuller flavor without altering the flavor of the salmon and the creaminess of the cream. The use of chopped pistachios is the trend of recent years, if you don't like it it can be replaced with chives! If you prefer to avoid cream, here you will also find salmon pasta without cream on the blog
