Dinner in 15 Minutes

Here's how to do it nutritiously, deliciously and with a pinch of flair: put salted water on to boil for pasta. Saute 1 onion in 2-3 T. olive oil until soft, then add cayenne pepper and paprika. Cook for 1 more minute and add 1/2 package of frozen petite peas.

Cook for 2 more minutes and remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of sour cream and some salt and pepper to taste. Flake in about a cup of smoked salmon and toss in some chopped dill. By this point the pasta (you should use medium shells or elbow macaroni) will be done (about 10 minutes for al dente).

Throw in a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water then drain. Toss pasta with sauce in skillet and serve warm with a green salad.
