Smoked salmon with linguine pasta recipe

At the time, I could only cook congolese food. There was one problem, however, I couldn’t find any African store in the area. I had no choice but to try new recipes! I had countless failed attempts. At some point, I really thought that I would never be able to figure out how to make great pasta. I was getting discouraged. But I kept trying!
