Pesto Salmon Pasta

A dish so simple it’s perfect for entertaining or for beginner cooks. This pasta dish tastes like so much more than the sum of its ingredients. Serve with some toasted garlic bread and a fresh green salad tossed with grape or cherry tomatoes and a simple vinaigrette dressing.

Ingredients:

2 grilled salmon steaks

Kosher salt

1 (16oz) package spaghetti

1 (12oz) container Vegetaball’s Pesto

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup sour cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

---

Directions:

1. Remove skin and bones from the cooked salmon. Gently break into large pieces and set aside.

2. Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add some salt to the boiling water, then add pasta and stir occasionally until cooked al dente.

3. When you’ve added the pasta to the water, whisk together the pesto, cream, and sour cream in a large saucepan. Heat this mixture over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently with a wire whisk.

4. Stir the salmon pieces into the cream mixture with a wooden spoon and continue heating over low heat; the mixture will start to simmer.

5. Drain pasta and add to the salmon mixture along with half of the Parmesan cheese.

6. Turn the heat for the saucepan to medium and cook, tossing the mixture gently with tongs until the spaghetti is coated and the mixture is thoroughly heated.

7. Serve immediately with the remainder of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
