Method
1. Cook the pasta in a saucepan according to pack instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta but ensure you reserve some of the water. Tip the pasta back into the pan.
Add the soft cheese, lemon juice and gravadlax or smoked salmon to the pan with some pepper, then mix together. To form a creamy sauce, add some of the pasta water. Heat through.
2. Add the majority of the chives to the pasta and stir them in. Plate the pasta up and scatter the rest of the chives on top. Serve on its own, or with a side salad and garlic bread if you wish.
