Notes

• You can use any plain pasta with this recipe. Try penne or macaroni.
• For a creamier sauce use full cream milk or light evaporated milk.
• Instead of smoked salmon and dill, try bacon, mushroom and onions.

For a vegetarian version:

• Use soy milk instead of skim milk
• Instead of smoked salmon and dill, use sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, capsicum and pine nuts.
