Lohi-ruccolapasta/Salmon and Arugula Pasta
Tässä toinen hyvä pastaresepti, jonka keksin jokin aika sitten. Viime viikonloppu ja alkuviikko meni kana-appelsiinipastan merkeissä, kunnes totesin, että kyseistä pastaa ei tarvitse vähään aikaan valmistaa, vaikka se kovin herkullista onkin. Nyt tuli mieleen, että bloggaan tämän pastamanian keskellä myös tämän lohi-ruccolapastan reseptin, koska sekin on ehdottomasti kokeilemisen arvoinen pastaruoka!
Idean pastasta sain jälleen niistä raaka-aineista, joita kaapistamme löytyi. Olimme tehneet edellisenä iltana susheja ja olin tietenkin suuresti ylimitoittanut lohen tarpeen makirullissa. Hyvä niin. Tästä lähtien ostan aina liikaa lohta, jotta voin sitten valmistaa tätä pastaa seuraavana päivänä. Ruccolaakin löytyi jääkaapista lähes täysi pakkaus. Ruccola on myös sellainen raaka-aine, jota pitää aina ostaa aivan valtavasti, vaikka tarvitsisi sitä vain vähän. Loppu sitten hiipuu jääkaapissa melko nopeasti ja tuntuu aina valtavalta tuhlaukselta lopuksi heittä nuupahtanut ruccola kompostiin.
Löin sitten vain Googleen hakusanat "salmon and arugula pasta" ja osumia tuli vaikka kuinka. Alkuperäinen resepti löytyy täältä.
Jouduinkohan itse asiassa ostamaan kaupasta yhtään mitään tätä pastaa varten? Ei kai. Kaikki löytyi kaapeista!
Lohi-ruccolapasta
4 annosta2 rkl voita
2 rkl oliiviöljyä
2 kevätsipulia hienonnettuna
3 valkosipulinkynttä hienonnettuna
3 luumutomaattia pilkottuna
3 dl valkoviiniä
2 rkl sitruunamehua
1 tl kuivattua meiramia
500 g tuoretta lohifileetä kuutioituna
2 rkl kapriksia
8 dl ruccolaa
1 rkl tuoretta basilikaa hienonnettuna
300 g spagettia
- Sulata voi pannussa ja lisää oliiviöljy. Lisää kevätsipuli ja valkosipuli ja hauduta keskilämmöllä n. 3 minuuttia. Lisää tomaatit ja hauduta n. 5 minuuttia. Lisää hieman lämpöä ja lisää viini, sitruunamehu ja meirami. Hauduta 5 minuuttia. Lisää lohi ja hauduta kunnes se on lähes läpikypsää, n. 5 min., välillä varovaisesti sekoittaen. Lisää ruccola, basilika ja kaprikset pannuun ja hauduta vielä 2 minuuttia.
Keitä spagetti pakkauksen ohjeiden mukaan ja siivilöi keitinvesi pois. Sekoita lohi-ruccolaseoksen kanssa hyvin ja tarjoile kuumana.
Ei siis lainkaan vaikeaa ja varsin nopeaa valmistaa! Maku oli todella herkullinen. En ole oikein tajunnut ruccolan kirpeyttä enne kuin tein tämä pastaruoan. Toki reseptissä oli sitruunaakin mutta mukava kirpeys tuntui tulevan etenkin ruccolasta.
Reseptissä ei suolaa tai pippuria mainita mutta ei varmasti ole haitaksi, jos molempia hieman rouhii pastan pinnalle ennen ruokailua.
Here is another good pasta recipe, which I discovered a while ago. Last weekend and the beginning of this week I made so much orange chicken pasta, I don't need to make it at all for a while, even though it is so delicious. In the midst of all this pasta mania I thought I would also post this recipe for salmon and arugula pasta, because also this recipe is definitely worth giving a try.
I again came up with the idea for this pasta from the ingredients we happened to have at home. We had made sushi the day before and of course I had greatly overestimated the need for salmon in maki rolls. That was a good thing. From now on I shall always buy too much salmon, so we can make this pasta the next day. We even had a nearly full packet of arugula in the fridge.Arugula is also one of those raw materials that you have to buy a huge amount of, even though you only need a little. The rest then wilts in the fridge pretty quickly and it feels like a huge waste to finally through the wilting arugula in to the compost.
I then entered the keywords "salmon and arugula pasta" into Google and there were lots of hits. The original recipe can be found here.
I actually don't think I had to buy anything from the store. We already had all the ingredients at home!
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, minced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 plum tomatoes, diced
3 dl white wine
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried marjoram
500 g fresh salmon fillet, cubed
2 tbsp capers
8 dl arugula
1 tbsp fresh basil, minced
300 g spaghetti

Salmon and arugula Pasta
serves 42 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, minced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 plum tomatoes, diced
3 dl white wine
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried marjoram
500 g fresh salmon fillet, cubed
2 tbsp capers
8 dl arugula
1 tbsp fresh basil, minced
300 g spaghetti
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and sautee at medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and sautee for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat up a a bit and add the wine, lemon juice and marjoram. Sautee for 5 minutes. Add the salmon and simmer until nearly done through, about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring carefully. Add the arugula, basil and capers to the saucepan and simmer for another 2 minutes.
Coock the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet and drain. Mix withe salmon and arugula mixture and toss well. Serve hot.
So not at all difficult and very quick to make! The taste was really delicious. I hadn't really realized before, how tart arugula actually is before making this pasta. Of course there was lemon in the recipe too but the pleasant sharpness seemed to come specifically from the arugula.
There was no mention of salt or pepper in the recipe but I'm sure it won't hurt to give a few turns of both on over the dish before serving.
