Extra virgin olive oil 40 g

Procedure

In a pan with a drizzle of oil and a clove of garlic, brown the smoked salmon, deglazing it with the white wine.

Meanwhile, prepare the pesto: pour all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water and drain when al dente, directly into the pan with the smoked salmon.

Add the pesto, 1 ladle of the cooking water, and mix well. Add the chopped pistachios and a little grated orange zest, and serve!

The chef recommends:

You can replace the smoked salmon with tuna tartare, shrimp tartare, or even a swordfish steak! .

XXL Spaghetti Garofalo Pasta

A thicker spaghetti, 2.5 mm in diameter, is an original creation from our pasta factory, made using high-quality wheat and bronze-drawn. Thanks to its generous thickness, it pairs well with richly flavored sauces. It requires longer cooking times, but still maintains its shape.
