Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Carbonara

I got a surprise in my online grocery delivery a few weeks ago – smoked salmon. Smoked salmon’s not usually on my shopping list due to the cost and I can only ‘apologise’ to the poor person who missed out because of the very unfortunate mistake by the delivery driver!   I managed to eek it out over two meals – making a very nice Smoked Salmon and Chorizo Risotto and this Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Carbonara. I think Carbonara has to be my ultimate comfort food but the addition of the salmon and asparagus really lightens it up and turns it into a wonderful summery treat. If asparagus isn’t in season you can just replace it with peas or broccoli.   Does anyone else transform their favourite comfort foods into lighter summery dishes for the warmer weather?  SMOKED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS CARBONARA Smoked Salmon Carbonara Pasta Yield: 4 Author: Beth Sachs Print Recipe Pin it With Image Without Image Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Carbonara
