Notes

Tip: Substitute spaghetti or bucatini (hollow spaghetti) for the linguini and smoked trout for the smoked salmon, if desired.

Tip: Use long pasta for thin sauces, such as a thin cream sauce or pesto, and shorter pastas for thicker sauces, such as a tomato or cheese sauce.

Tip: Mascarpone is a fresh cheese and has a short shelf life. If mascarpone is not available, you can use sour cream or cream cheese instead.

Tip: This pasta dish is great served with crusty Italian bread, such as ciabatta.
