Smoked Mackerel and Cream Cheese Tagliatelle


Having gotten in from work and a class late and being starving I didnt feel much like waiting for my dinner to cook. Pasta dishes are always a good stand by and as I am attempting to be good during the week fish was on the menu too! I just threw together a few ingredients from the fridge, freezer and cupboard. It actually tasted lovely!



Ingredients:

Half a white onion - finely chopped
Garlic puree - about half a tsp
Squeeze of lemon juice
Handful of mushrooms - chopped
Handful of frozen peas
A couple of smoked mackerel fillets - poached in water and rough chopped
A heaped tbsp light Philidelphia
Handful of spinach - chopped
Some fresh dill - chopped
Tagliatelle


Method:

1.  While fish is poaching and pasta cooking fry onion in a little oil. Add mushrooms.

2.   Add cream cheese, garlic puree, dill and lemon juice. Add a little hot water if too thick to make a sauce. Add peas to the pasta a few minutes before its finished cooking.

3.   Add mackerel to cooked and drained pasta and peas. Stir through spinach - it will wilt with the heat of the pasta.

4.   Stir through the sauce and combine to coat.

5.   Serve!
