If you like bagels with cream cheese and lox, you'll love this pasta dish.  It's delicious and easy, and you'll probably want to double it to have enough for leftovers!

Ingredients:

*  8 oz dried linguine or fettuccine
*  6 oz thinly sliced and chopped smoked salmon or lox
*  2 green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
*  1 clove garlic, minced
*  1 T butter
*  1 cup whipping cream
*  1 T fresh dill, or 1 tsp dried dill weed
*  1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel (lemon zest)
*  1 tsp freshly squeeze lemon juice
*  1/4 tsp pepper
*  2 T grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to pass
*  Fresh dill sprigs (optional)

Directions:

1)  Cook pasta according to directions on package.
2)  In a large skillet, cook the onion and garlic in the melted butter over medium heat until tender, about 2-3 minutes.  Add salmon and cook another minute.
3)  Stir in whipping cream, dill, lemon peel and lemon juice, and pepper.  Bring to a boiling, then reduce heat.
4)  Cook at a gentle boil about 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.  Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
5)  Arrange pasta on a platter.  Sprinkle with extra cheese, and garnish with fresh dill sprigs.

Serves 4.
