  • Add the cooked pasta into the pan and toss together.
  • Add in the cream cheese, parmesan, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon and toss together. Add some pasta water if it needs loosening up.
  • Flake up the salmon, then add it into the pan along with the dill, then stir it through. Taste for seasoning, you can add more lemon juice if you like, then dish it up, and finish with some lemon zest over the top.
