• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

4. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and allow it to simmer for about 2–3 minutes.

5. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

6. Combine: Gently fold in the cooked pasta until it is well coated with the creamy salmon sauce.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes.
