Spinach tagliatelle with hot smoked salmon, tomatoes, and lemon cream is a quick and delicious meal. The contrast of the green pasta with the red tomato creates a pleasant looking dish. We are pleased to offer this recipe from Chef Tony. If you are not a fan of smoked salmon, you may eliminate it or use fresh grilled salmon or shrimp as a substitute.
