Farfalle in Salsa di Salmone e Vodka
salt
1 pound farfalle, or substitute penne
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1⁄2 pounds fresh salmon fillet, skinless, cut into 3⁄4-inch cubes
freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon juniper berries, lightly crushed
1 tablespoon vodka
1⁄4 cup fresh parsley leaves
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the pasta and cook until al dente. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium- high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, then add the juniper berries and season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the vodka. Turn the heat to low and place the skillet back over the flame. Simmer, stirring often, until the liquid reduces slightly. Drain the pasta, reserving 1⁄4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then add it to the skillet along with the cooking water. Add the parsley, toss and serve. ● Serves 4
