A quick and easy creamy pasta dish featuring tender salmon, fresh spinach, and a rich sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

  • 200g pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 150g fresh spinach
  • 200g salmon fillet
  • 200ml cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Boil water in a large pot and cook the pasta according to package instructions, aiming for al dente. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil for about a minute.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Place the salmon fillet in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily. Remove it from the pan and let it cool slightly.
  5. Using a fork, flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Pour in the cream and mix well to combine with the spinach, letting it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Add the cooked pasta and flaked salmon to the sauce, stirring gently to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess.
  9. Taste and season with salt and pepper, adjusting as necessary.
  10. Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This dish can also be meal prepped.
