Pasta al Salmone

Ingredients

• short pasta
• smoked salmon
• lemon
• vodka
• butter

while pasta is cooking, take about half a cup of cooking liquid and pour in a skillet. Make it boil. Add a little bit of cold butter (30 grams or so) and mix until it emulsifies. You can use more water and butter if you want more sauce. Add juice of 1 big lemon (and zest if you like lemon). About 1 minute before the pasta is cooked, drain and reserve some water just in case. Add the pasta to the skillet, cook 1 minute. Add the salmon and a little bit of vodka (say 3 tbsp). Quickly mix until the salmon is barely cooked. Plate, add more salmon bites on top and a generous amount of freshly cracked pepper
