Smoke the celery and cut the smoked salmon. Fry the celery in olive oil for a while in a pan. Squeeze in the lemon juice and cream. Season with white pepper. Add 2 dl of pasta cooking water (season with salt and pepper). Bring the sauce to the boil and leave to stand.

When the pasta is cooked, pour off the excess water and stir in the cream sauce and the chopped cold smoked salmon. Add the chopped dill.
