• black pepper
• 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
• olive oil
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 cup fresh peas
• 1/2 pound wild sockeye salmon, chopped

1. Cook pappardelle in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain pasta.
2. Meanwhile, bring cream and butter to a simmer in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, adding 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add pappardelle, 1/4 cup reserved water, and cheese to sauce and toss. Add more cooking water if necessary.
3. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the red onion, fresh peas and salmon and cook and stir about 3-5 minutes until heated through. Add to the pasta and cream mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
