Here is how you make Penne with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Sauce:

Cook penne in lots of boiling salted water until al dente?cooked through and tender but still retaining some texture and chew.Scoop out some of the starchy cooking water and reserve. Drain the pasta but not quite all the way. Leave it a bit wet. Put the pasta back into the pot along with a splash or two of the reserved water.While the pasta is still steaming hot, immediately add the rest of the ingredients except the salmon. Stir with a wooden spoon as the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce.At the last second briefly stir in the smoked salmon; this way it won?t break up as much. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.Serving Size: 6 ServingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BOOMBOOM2010.
