A large saucepan is ALWAYS useful, particularly when cooking pasta, and this one from Amazon is perfect for the job!
We always find that fine graters are the best when grating cheese as it makes the cheese go soooo much further – just watch your fingers as this Deiss Micro Grater is MEGA sharp!!

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day.

Step 1
Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet. In the last 4 minutes of cooking time, add the frozen peas into the spaghetti to cook through.
Step 2
Beat the eggs in a bowl with the finely grated parmesan, chives, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Step 3
Drain the spaghetti and peas, but keep 250mls of the pasta water back – you’ll use this later. Keep the pasta and peas in the colander.
Step 4
Using the pan which you cooked the spaghetti and peas in, pop back on the heat and spray with low calorie cooking spray. Flake the hot smoked salmon fillets into the pan and heat through for a few minutes.
Step 5
Return the spaghetti and peas back to the saucepan with the salmon. Turn off the hob and remove the pan from the heat. Add the beaten egg mix, along with the pasta water and stir thoroughly, ensuring all the spaghetti is coated in the egg – this should take a couple of minutes.
Step 6
Serve immediately and top with a little sprinkle of parmesan if required!

How do you know when Smoked Salmon Spaghetti Carbonara is cooked?
Your Smoked Salmon Spaghetti Carbonara is ready when the spaghetti is cooked through and it’s all coated in the egg. Remember to take your pan off the heat before adding the egg as otherwise it’ll scramble!

Once you’ve put it out, ideally you should eat it within 4 hours.
If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Smoked Salmon Spaghetti Carbonara in the fridge for approximately 2 days or so.
Can I freeze Smoked Salmon Spaghetti Carbonara?
No, we don’t recommend freezing this dish.
How do I reheat Smoked Salmon Spaghetti Carbonara?
From chilled: This dish really is best served fresh, but if you want to reheat it then you’ll need to be really careful so that the eggs don’t scramble. We’d recommend heating very gently in a pan and adding a little hot water to loosen the sauce.
