Instructions

1. Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into medium cubes.
2. Bring 5 litres of water to a boil in a large pot over medium heat, adding rock salt before the pasta.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons (or a drizzle) of extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
4. Crush or thinly slice the garlic clove, add it to the pan and cook on medium-low for about 20 seconds.
5. Add the salmon and turn gently so all sides cook.
6. Add the chilli, capers and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
7. Stir gently and cook through for about 5 to 7 minutes.
8. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze in the juice of one half, adding more to taste; add the lemon zest, then the remaining juice, and mix well.
9. Break up about half of the salmon pieces with a fork so they shred, choosing pieces that have already started to break down.
10. Cook the penne in the boiling water, then reserve about half a mug of pasta water.
11. Add the reserved pasta water to the pan and let it gently simmer, then drain the pasta and add it to the pan.
12. Lower the heat, stir in 3 heaped tablespoons of mascarpone until melted, then add more parsley and toss the pan to create a creamy sauce.
