In Japan, we can not really find smoked salmon at reasonable prices as far as I know, but in the UK, we can easily find good quality smoked salmon.
We often cook spaghetti sauce with cream, which may be known well in the UK, but as it is not really familiar in Japan, I post this recipe.
Ingredients of Salmon Cream Spaghetti for serves 2:
- 200g of spaghetti being cooked in boiling water with 1 table spoons of salt
- 100g of smoked salmon
- 100cc of cooking white wine
- 200 to 300 ml of single cream
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 table spoons of olive oil
- 5 parsley leaves – finely chopped
1. Start to bring water for spaghetti to boil.
2. Heat a pan with olive oil and fry garlic and smoked salmon in low heat.
3. When the salmon is just cooked, add white wine and evaporate it in medium heat and turn off the heat.
4. Once the water is boiled, add salt and spaghetti and cook for about 10 minutes, which depends on the maker of the spaghetti.
5. About 3 to 4 minutes before the spaghetti is boiled, add single cream and heat the pan in medium to low heat.
6. Mix with drained spaghetti and dish up, sprinkle black pepper and parsley.
I bought the spaghetti boiling pot about 2 weeks ago from the Harvey Nichols on bargain, but actually the diameter of the pot is not wide enough, I found just after I cooked spaghetti for the first time with the pot.
The shop keeper did not give me proper advice. He said the mini pasta pot is for pasta up to 4 portions. If I would have bought it from Harrods, the shop assistants would give me relevant informative advice by having friendly conversation to find the right products and I would not have bought the too small diameter pot.
The uninformative shop assistants used to typically be found in many retail shops in the UK. Nowadays in the middle of the recession, competitions are fully open to all over the world and I found at Summer bargains this year that Harrods, John Lewis in Oxford street ( but not the one in Kingston ) and an agent of Villeloy & Boch bath showroom in South London gave me at last, good informative, relevant, reliable and high standard advice on products including technical information in equipment installation which almost never be explained by staff in most of retail shops in the UK before.
The next step is to cancel out the excessive inflation of more than 30% to 50% in some cases overvalued on prices of products and services in the UK imminently to keep well-balanced economy in the UK and the world.
