I love easy and quick recipes. They are life and game-changer! I have my favourites and go-to and this pasta dish is worth everything! This has chunks of tender salmon and spinach smothered in a very delicious creamy Parmesan sauce!

This salmon pasta with spinach is my husband’s favourite. I always whip this up whenever he feels like eating pasta and salmon. I throw this together in a single pan using only a few simple ingredients in thirty minutes! You are welcome to use any of your favourite pasta. Although, I do not suggest using very small pasta. I am making this salmon pasta with spinach again tonight for our simple impromptu date night.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons butter

8 ounces uncooked pasta I use campanelle

1 pound salmon skinless and boneless (one piece or multiple pieces)

1 medium onion chopped

1 c. Parmesan cheese grated

1 c. heavy cream

2 garlic cloves minced

6 ounces baby spinach

salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons parsley chopped

HOW TO MAKE SALMON PASTA WITH SPINACH

Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the pasta.

Step 2: In the meantime, saute the onion in butter for about 4 to 5 minutes over medium heat. Then, add the salmon and continue to cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, breaking the salmon into flakes as it cooks.

Step 3: To the pan, add the spinach and cook further until wilted. This takes another minute or two.

Step 4: Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper until well incorporated. Bring everything to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Drain the pasta and add it to the pan along with the chopped parsley. Toss well.

Step 6: When done, take the pan off the heat and serve the salmon pasta with spinach garnished with some parsley and grated Parmesan. Enjoy!
