How to prepare smoked salmon with creamy citrus pasta

Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta as per the packet instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, wash and drain the spinach.

In a bowl, add the creme fraiche, lemon juice, horseradish and chopped chives. Combine gently.

When the pasta is cooked, drain it and sprinkle a little olive oil on it and flake the smoked salmon into it. I tend to pull the smoked salmon apart with my fingers and add it to the pan. Add the spinach and the creme fraiche mixture and combine.

Share between 4 plates and scatter the chopped avocado on top.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
