Spaghetti with salmon in creamy sauce
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This dish takes only 20 minutes to prepare, and you can use either fresh or smoked salmon. In the latter case, you can add a slice of finely grated green apple to the sauce instead of onion. Instead of spaghetti, you can use penne pasta. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with water or milk; if it's too thin, cook it a bit longer until it thickens. Serve hot.
