Decadent smoked salmon with a hint of zesty lime in a simple cream sauce.
If you're cooking for one, this pasta with smoked salmon and cream recipe is a great standby. You only need half a small pack of salmon - save the rest for another day. If you're cooking for two you can just double to recipe, though you probably won't need the juice of the whole lime. Add half and see how it tastes before adding more. Swap the cream for sour cream or crème fraîche if that's what you have. This dish is one of our favourite healthy pasta recipes (opens in new tab) for when you're solo cooking, and it's under 250 calories per portion.

- 1 tsp olive oil

Top tip for making pasta with smoked salmon and cream
Add in a small handful of freshly chopped dill for extra flavour. If you don't have fresh, a good pinch of dried would work too.
