Pasta shells with salmon and caviare

Ingredients

340 g/12 oz dried pasta shells (60 Sins on Original) | 113 g/4 oz smoked salmon, cut into strips (8 Sins on Green) | 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill | 283 g/10 oz very low fat natural yogurt | salt and freshly ground black pepper | grated zest and juice of 1 lemon | 28 g/1 oz drained red caviare (1 1/2 Sins on Green)

To reduce the costs of making this luxurious pasta dish, some buy smoked salmon offcuts. Although you can use black "caviare" lumpfish roe, the red salmon roe looks much prettier.
