3 out of 4 of us loved this. I doubled it easily and left out the peas and onion powder. I added the lox at the last second so it wouldn't cook. It was easy to make and tasty. I served it with a tomato stuffed with Italian bread crumbs on the side. I also thought a simple salad of tomato and onion would be good but tomato season has ended; next year. I'll make this again and leave out the lox for my odd duck or sprinkle some on top of each serving rather than tossing it together. Without the lox this even made for a nice dish. Next time I think I'll also try some dill. Thanks for posting.

The sauce is delicious. I doubled the parmesan cheese and reduced the peas to 1 cup (that was plenty). I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting.

What's not to like about cream cheese and lox? I agree that there could be more lox (will do that next time) and it is a rich meal although I used skim milk and fat-free cream cheese. Did omit the salt as the parmesan and lox makes it salty enough. Well worth making again, thanks for posting.

this is a lovely recipe because the combination of cream cheese and smoked salmon is very traditional and then to add pasta is another way to use these 2 ingredients together. I, myself do not like cooked smoked salmon so I added the smoked salmon at the end on top of the finished dish.
