No-Cook Mackerel Pasta
Need a quick, healthy pasta idea? This one takes almost no effort and it’s why I’ve been making it for years for my family.
The sauce is made by simply throwing everything into freshly cooked pasta — no frying, no blender, no fuss. Just mix, season and serve.
✨ Mackerel – naturally rich in omega-3s and protein
🌿 Fresh parsley & dill – packed with flavour and goodness
🍋 Lemon – fresh, zesty and full of vitamin C
🧅 Red onion & capers – loads of flavour without needing complicated ingredients
Serves 2
• Cooked pasta of your choice
• 2 smoked mackerel fillets, flaked
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp crème fraîche
• 1 tbsp capers
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• Teaspoon of fresh dill, chopped
• Add a little pasta water to help mix if needed
• Salt & pepper, to taste
Method:
Cook your pasta, then while it’s still hot, add all the ingredients. Mix everything together until creamy and well combined, season to taste and serve.
That’s it. 🤌
A delicious, nourishing dinner with barely any cooking involved.
Save this one for a busy weeknight ❤️
