When European Foods Marketplace asked me to come up with an Easter recipe using some of their fantastic ingredients, of course my mind went straight to chocolate. BUT, they have so much more than great chocolate! So this recipe was created...I mean who am I to ignore the biggest cheese fridge in Australia with it's own Instagram account?
This is probably the easiest recipe I have ever come up with and it relies heavily on sourcing the best ingredients...enter European Foods Marketplace!
Great pasta, the best of cheeses, smoked Atlantic salmon, fresh dill, caviar and just a little of pasta water for the perfect sauce! Enjoy and happy Good Friday to those you who love a fish dish on that day!
