Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta - with peas and almond

Creamy smoked salmon pasta is a quick and simple dish to prepare.  I made this with milk and egg, without the addition of cream or cheese. I love the creamy sauce that is flavoured with delicious smoked salmon. Goes well with peas. The crispy almond flakes on top bring additional texture to the dish.
