rigatoni with smoked trout, zucchini and lemon

This is a quick and easy rigatoni with smoked trout, zucchini and lemon is packed with zesty flavour. The parsley and lemon add freshness to the cream and smoked trout.
Recipe: (Serves 2)
- 250gm of zucchini/ courgette grated
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbs of chopped parsley
- 200gms smoked trout ribbons
- 250ml cream
- toasted pine nuts and Parmesan or Pecorino to serve
- pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
- approx 400gms of rigatoni or pasta of your choice
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until al dente. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and saute the grated zucchini until softened. Add all the other ingredients and heat through. If it is a little thick, take about 1/4 of a cup of the pasta liquid and add to thin it down. Serve with grated or shaved Parmesan cheese and a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts.

Oh god, that looks like a big bowl of happy 🙂
oooooh, delicious! Would love to eat that right now.
I LOVE this recipe. It sounds very similar to a version we do at cafe Roux with dill and spring onions. So yummy – and one of our most popular. Will have to try yours now. (Your granita would be good after this rich main too) x
Thanks Bern, it is quite rich but so much lemon and parsley. I like the sound of the Cafe Roux version. I wish I lived a bit closer.
This sounds amazing. I lovvee the addition of Lemon! YUM!
