Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 240 ml (1 cup) milk or heavy cream

• 480 ml (2 cups) vegetable broth

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 250 grams (9 oz) whole wheat tagliatelle (or any pasta you prefer)

• 100 grams (3.5 oz) smoked salmon

• 30 grams (1/4 cup) grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

1. Mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

2. Add the heavy cream, vegetable broth, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil.
