Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 ounces) bow-tie pasta

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion (1/2 cup chopped)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves (chopped)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup fat-free half and half

  • 2 teaspoons stone-ground mustard

  • 2 packages (3-4 ounces each) sliced salmon (smoked or cured), cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Boil water in a large pot, then cook and drain the pasta.

  • In a separate skillet, sauté the onion, tarragon, and parsley in olive oil for approximately 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the chicken broth. Cook uncovered for approximately 4 minutes or until the broth evaporates.

  • Stir in the half and half and mustard. Heat to boiling; then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened.

  • Mix the cooked pasta, sliced salmon, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese with the sauce. Stir pasta until it is evenly coated. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
