Pasta cream cheese smoked salmon

Instructions

1 Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to
package instructions. Reserve ¾ cup of pasta water.
2 Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and onion, saute until
translucent, ~3-4 minutes. Add garlic and saute ~1 minute. Lower heat to low
then add cream cheese, yogurt, zest, and lemon juice, whisking and adding pasta
water a little at a time to create a sauce with a consistency that you prefer
(more water will create a thinner sauce, you may not use all the reserved pasta
water) and heat gently. Mix in dill, salt, and pepper.
3 Take sauce off the heat and stir in capers, salmon, and cooked pasta. Garnish
with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
