Pasta with Salmon, Peas, and Leek

Method

• Cut the salmon into roughly 2 cm cubes and season with a little salt.
• Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
• Add the peas to the water during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
• Chop the leek and lightly sauté in a frying pan.
• Pour the cooking cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add grated parmesan cheese, and stir well. The cream should not boil after adding the cheese.
• Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water but leave 2-3 tablespoons of cooking water.
• Add the salmon cubes, leek, and olive oil to the pasta, and gently mix everything together.
• Cover with a lid and return the saucepan to the stove on low heat for 5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Shake the pan 2-3 times during cooking.
• Chop the basil, and add the cheese sauce and basil to the saucepan with the salmon, pasta, and peas.

Tip:Instead of parmesan, you can try using regular cheese, a few spoonfuls of pesto, or a small amount of blue cheese.
