As you might have already noticed I’ve been cooking a lot of pasta recently. I don’t really know why, but I kind of felt like I didn’t enough the past months, so I have to catch up a little bit.
I’m still kind of ill, it’s just a cold, but it kind of keeps me from doing big work in the kitchen. So I’m happy about easy dishes, that I can just throw together in a couple of minutes and still have something my suffering body can enjoy in this total agony of cough and snuff. I’m just kidding, but I really need nice food to feel better.
This asparagus and smoked salmon pasta is another great quick weekday dinner dish. It’s easily done in under 20 minutes and still has great and interesting flavor. Fresh asparagus, smoky salmon, zesty lemon, heavy cream and al dente pasta.

Okay… This is kind of hard for me. I never liked Jamie Oliver. I think it’s just his face. Or his attitude. Or a combination of both? I don’t know. Just seeing him on TV makes me want to hurt myself or others (preferably Jamie of course) in many ways. But some days ago I found this Jamie Oliver Recipe at seasaltwithfood, tried it and actually… I really liked it. There’s one Thing I know for sure: It’s not easy to accept and/or admit that.
But it’s true. This dish is such a great and hearty pasta dish, that just makes you want to eat a whole pot and die happily afterwards. The Lemon in the sauce is a nice contrast to the uber-savory taste of the pork sausage. Perfect balance, that just makes you eat more of that stuff.
P.S.: I’m not saying he’s a bad cook or anything. I mean, who am I to say something like that?! I just (still) can’t stand him. Cheers!

This is a perfect quick lunch, you can prepare the day or evening before you actually want to cook and eat it. Plus it’s foolproof and delicious. I know it’s not actual, traditional gyros, but the taste definitely comes out pretty much close to the original and I mean… Who own’s one of those Gyros Rotisseries?!
