Penne with Salmon


This is a great weeknight meal - easy and fast with not many ingredients.  I love smoked salmon and we tend to always have some in the fridge - toast with a little smoked salmon is what my husband and I love having for breakfast.  I decided to toss up a pasta dish my mother often made for me.  Sauté some onions and garlic, chopped tomatoes, and smoked salmon and you're done.  Salty, a little sweet from the tomatoes, and nice and light.

1/4 lb Penne, or ziti, bow tie, any pasta really
1/4 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 t red chili flakes
~ 8 oz chopped tomatoes 
~1/2 c chopped smoked salmon
salt, pepper
olive oil and some butter

Heat some oil in a pan, sauté onions and then garlic.  Add salt and pepper.  Add tomatoes and let cook for several minutes.  Add some chili flakes.  Add a pad of butter and let simmer.  Boil pasta aldente, drain and toss in along with the smoked salmon which will shift from translucent to light pink.  Let the pasta finish cooking in the sauce for one minute.  Shave some pecorino after serving.
