Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Salmon Fillets

  • 2 Cups Fresh Spinach
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

  3. Create the Garlic Base: Sauté minced garlic in the same pot for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add spinach and let it wilt.
  4. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream while stirring, allowing it to bubble gently and thicken slightly.
  5. Incorporate the Pasta: Fold the drained pasta into the cream sauce and add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Flake the Salmon: Gently flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and fold it into the pasta mixture.
  7. Plate It Up: Serve in bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.
