8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used campanelle)
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion chopped
6 ounces baby spinach
1 c. heavy cream
1 c. Parmesan cheese grated
2 garlic cloves minced

HOW TO MAKE SALMON PASTA WITH SPINACH

Step 2: To the onion, add the salmon and continue to cook for 5 to 7 minutes more while breaking the salmon into flakes as it cooks. Now add in the spinach and cook for another minute or two until wilted.
Step 3: Then, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
