We had a freezing cold morning in the park being pursued by ravenous geese, followed by a trip to Borders in the frenzied sale crowds. The former was rather better than the latter.
Tea was the result of leftovers from Christmas day (we had smoked salmon on little blinis as a starter).
You'll need:
pasta (spirali were good for this)
smoked salmon - whatever you've got left
grated rind of a lemon
a large courgette - sliced into chunks
an onion, finely sliced
salt and lots of black pepper
Gently fry the onion in a little olive oil until it's translucent. Add the courgette (you may need to add more olive oil at this point), and fry until soft.
While this is happening, stick your pasta on.
Grate the rind of your lemon into the courgette/onion mixture. Add some pepper/salt to season it. When your pasta's only got a couple of minutes to go, throw the smoked salmon into the frying pan with the courgette/onion mix, to heat it through.
Drain the pasta, and shove it in the pan with everything else. You could add a squeeze or two of juice from the lemon at this point, if you like the lemony taste.
Sprinkle with lots of grated cheese and eat straightaway. It'd be nice with a green salad.
