Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Pasta (e.g., linguine or fettuccine)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 200 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 150 g Fresh spinach leaves
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 150 g Smoked salmon, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 to taste Salt
- 1 to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and allow it to simmer gently for 2 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the creamy sauce.
Gently fold in the smoked salmon strips and lemon juice. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the salmon without overcooking it.
Season the pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy smoked salmon pasta with spinach and tomato!
