Cooking Steps

Cook the orecchiette
1

• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a large saucepan with the boiled water. Add a generous pinch of salt and heat over high heat. • Cook orecchiette in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain pasta and return to pan. TIP: 'al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice celery. Slice lemon into wedges.

Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir in cooked orecchiette, baby spinach leaves. Tear in smoked salmon and add a generous squeeze of lemon juice until combined. Season with pepper.

Review summary

Updated on Oct 2026
  • Flavour: Most found the dish easy to make and tasty, though one household felt the smoked salmon flavour was too strong for their preference.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together on a weeknight.
  • Suggestions: If the orecchiette sticks together during cooking, stir it more frequently and ensure the water is at a rolling boil before adding the pasta.
