Smoked Dandelion Pasta

Now it’s time to make a tasty dish of fish, as a change from those barbecues. I can’t even remember the last time we made pasta. Now the appetite has really grown! For summer, though, I’d do something summery – cold smoked butterfish pasta. It’s got capers, cilantro, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and lots of other super cool stuff! Definitely worth a try, because you don’t get pasta like this every day :).

You can choose which pasta you want to use. I used penne pasta, but fusilli and spaghetti would definitely work too. I bought the cold-smoked butterfish from M.V.Wool’s Mati fish shop. They always have fresh fish! Smoked fish is great in pastas and salads. The butterfish itself has a nice mild flavour.

Cold smoked butterfish pasta is also good for some more festive meals, as it is a bit more delicate, especially because of the rich ingredients. And the pasta bolognese wouldn’t surprise anyone either.

This pretty turquoise blue bowl is from the shop Gastrolink. It really is one of our favourite bowls from their range, because the food served in this bowl looks really good. This beautiful blue bowl is also great for decorating the kitchen.
