pasta with smoked salmon in cream sauce

a couple of weeks ago i bought a huge package of wild smoked salmon at costco and used half of it for our father's day picnic. i wondered what to do with the leftovers before the expiration date. i didn't want to do bagels with salmon and cream cheese for dinner so my husband suggested making a pasta dish with it. it was fast, easy, and required few ingredients that i already had.

1 lb smoked salmon cut into pieces

3/4 lb penne pasta (or similar)

1/2 pint of heavy cream

one small onion

capers

olive oil

pepper to taste

while boiling pasta, heat olive oil and sautee onions over medium heat, add salmon and cook until it begins to lighten in color, add heavy cream and capers, reduce heat and simmer and keep warm until pasta is cooked. serve over pasta and finish with coarsely ground pepper.
