Ingredients:
– 2 salmon fillets
– 8 oz penne pasta
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup spinach
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cherry tomatoes for garnish
– Fresh basil for garnish
Directions:
1. Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Once it’s al dente, drain it and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. While it warms up, season the salmon fillets with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Carefully place the fillets in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re perfectly cooked through. Once done, remove them from the skillet and keep them warm.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute until it becomes fragrant – your kitchen will smell amazing!
4. Next, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. This is where the magic begins!
5. Slowly add in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts into a smooth and creamy sauce.
6. Add the spinach to the skillet, followed by the cooked penne pasta. Mix everything together until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is fully coated with that delicious garlic Alfredo sauce.
7. Flake the sautéed salmon and gently fold it into the pasta mixture. Make sure every bite has some salmon goodness!
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a bit more salt and pepper if needed.
9. Serve this beautiful dish garnished with vibrant cherry tomatoes and fresh basil for a touch of color and flavor.
