PASTA TIME
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain (reserving a cup of pasta water), return to the pot, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
TOAST THE WALNUTS
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SAUCE BASE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, about 1 minute (shifting constantly). Stir in ¾ of the peas and the cream until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
BLEND IT
To a blender, add ½ the picked dill, the lemon juice, and the creamy pea & onion mixture. Blend until smooth. Add the reserved pasta water in 10ml increments until the desired consistency. Season and toss through the cooked pasta.
FINAL TOUCHES
Return the pot of pea pasta to medium heat. Stir through the remaining peas and ½ the shredded trout ribbons until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED!
Plate up the creamy trout & pea pasta. Top with the remaining shredded smoked trout, and scatter over the toasted walnuts. Garnish with the remaining dill. Finish off with a crack of black pepper. Excellent, Chef!
