Increase heat and boil liquid down to half. 5. If you want slightly creamy sauce, add the cream and let it boil for a minute longer. 6. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Add back some of the pasta cooking liquid if pasta is a little dry. 7. Add the smoked salmon, toasted pine nuts, dill, and the remaining lemon zest. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
