SALMON AND HERB PENNE(FLAT BELLY DIET RECIPE)



Salmon and Herb Penne(Flat Belly Diet Recipe) image

I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounded delicious. Fresh grilled salmon would take it to the unbelievably delicious level, I think. If you're using grilled salmon, just cook the other ingredients as posted and throw in the salmon right before mixing in the pasta. I wouldn't leave out the wine. It will add an extra dimension to the dish. I am posting for safe keeping and will rate it as soon as I make it. See my page for Flat Belly Diet Guidelines.
