Serve your salmon-loving friends this elegant and easy pasta dish. For those of you not watching your pennies, substitute caviar for capers. I envy you. We should get together sometime.

Ingredients

½ (16 ounce) package orecchiette pasta
1 cup cream
2 slices red onion, chopped
6 ounces smoked salmon, cut into strips
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orecchiette and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine cream and onion in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
Gently stir salmon, Parmesan cheese, capers, butter, and parsley into the cream mixture and serve over pasta.

Cook's Note:

Half-and-half works fine in place of cream.
