CREAMY ASPARAGUS & SALMON PASTA



Creamy Asparagus & Salmon Pasta image

Leftover salmon gets a recipe remake with bowtie pasta, fresh asparagus, and dill in this super simple Parmesan cream sauce that makes meal prep a breeze.

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Main Course

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dried bow tie pasta (, or farfalle)
2 cups chopped asparagus spears (, cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 cups heavy cream
2 Meyer lemons (, zested (use 2-3 regular lemons if you can't find Meyer lemons))
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 cup fresh dill (, chopped, plus more for serving)
2 cups flaked, cooked salmon
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the bow tie pasta according to package directions until al denté.
  • When noodles are done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer the pasta to a colander, reserving the pasta cooking water in the pot. Reheat the pot of water over medium heat and add the chopped asparagus spears, cooking until they turn bright green, about 1-2 minutes, then transfer to the same colander as the pasta. You want the asparagus to still have a snap to but not taste raw.
  • While the pasta and asparagus are cooking, pour the cream into a 12-inch skillet and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until reduced by half and the cream easily coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add the lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, fresh dill and cooked salmon to the cream and stir until the Parmesan is melted into the cream and the salmon is warmed through. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Add the cooked bow tie pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add more salt and pepper if desired, and top with more Parmesan cheese and dill if desired. Serve immediately.

CREAMY SALMON AND ASPARAGUS PASTA



Creamy Salmon and Asparagus Pasta image

This salmon and asparagus pasta is simple to make, and you will love the lemony garlic cream sauce. Ready in about 30 minutes!

Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces uncooked pasta
1 bunch asparagus (ends trimmed)
1 pound fresh salmon
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon lemon juice + zest from 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream

Steps:

  • Boil a salted pot of water for your pasta. Cook it al dente according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, trim your asparagus (I cut about 1.5" of the ends off while the asparagus is still tied up in a bunch to make it easy). Cut it into smaller pieces. Prep your other ingredients and sprinkle the salmon with salt & pepper and the Italian seasoning.
  • Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for 3 minutes/side and then take it out of the pan and set it aside.
  • Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes (3 minutes if it's on the thicker side or you like it softer).
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the lemon juice + zest, cream, and parmesan to the pan. Give it a good stir then add the salmon back. Break it up into smaller pieces with your spoon. Cook the sauce for another few minutes until the salmon is fully cooked through, the asparagus is tender, and the sauce has reduced a bit. The sauce is not meant to be very thick in this recipe. Toss the sauce with the drained pasta and serve immediately.
