I cannot count how many times I have made this Creamy Salmon Pasta. My family loves this so much that it became a tradition to serve this on Sundays once everyone is around. Made with just simple ingredients, you can throw this together in fifty-five minutes from start to finish!
If you are always on the lookout for an easy, quick, and filling weeknight dinner, this recipe is one to keep. Family-approved, kid-friendly, and a nice alternative to meat. And this pasta is elegant enough to serve on date nights with your favourite wine.
Salmon and pasta are a staple at home. Cooking salmon is super easy. It’s tender and very flavorful. I have a list of salmon recipes I love, and this is one of them. Two of my family’s favourites in one. We enjoy this creamy salmon pasta alongside some toasted garlic bread or fresh green salad. You’ll think maybe that it is not filling enough but trust me it is! Give this a try and see for yourself.
