Method

Cook the linguine in a large pan of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sweat the onion for 10 minutes, until softened.
Add the crème fraîche, horseradish and the zest. Simmer for 3 minutes, adding a splash of water if you need to. Stir through capers, smoked salmon and spinach leaves. Season with cracked black pepper.
Drain the pasta, then toss it through the sauce, pile onto plates and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
