When I first invited Lakshmi over for dinner, before we started dating, I tried pretty hard to impress her. Did I give myself away with the smoked salmon and goat cheese pasta? Maybe she thought something fishy was going on.
Here's how I wooed her:
Cook some pasta. If you're really going for it (which I was), use fresh pasta.
Fry an onion and a few cloves of garlic.
Break the salmon into small chunks and add it to the pan with a handful of capers.
Turn the heat off and add the goat cheese so it warms but doesn't melt.
Put it on your pasta and eat right away!
Note: Some people have small stomachs, so don't pile too much on your guests' plates. They might feel obligated to eat all of it.
