Smoked Salmon Linguini with Goats Cheese Sauce

Yes, it’s rich. Yes, it’s fattening.  And yes, it’s gorgeous.  This is in fact the evening supper that prompted Mr Gastronomics to rub his tummy contentedly, plonk a kiss on my cheek and tell me he's glad I'm doing this "blogging thing".  Praise indeed, eh? This recipe for pasta with...

Cajun Spiced Steamed Salmon & Veg
