A good light meal.

Pasta with Salmon Caviar

No salmon caviar, but lumpfish caviar (cheaper and died red, I didn't realize till I looked it up).

This would make a nice starter, but I think a whole recipe would serve 8, rather than 6 as a starter.

We liked this, a quick and easy dinner. I made a half recipe, using frozen cooked shrimp (rather than shelling raw ones) and jarred roasted red bell pepper (instead of tomato--a common substitution in a tomato-allergy household).

Both of us thought the burnt brandy taste was surprisingly absent (usually I'm very aware of the burnt taste of flambéed things), even though I was a bit long on the brandy (my measuring helper misunderstood and I didn't want to throw out the brandy).

Nevertheless, it was quite tasty and we'd do this again.l
