Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Capellini (Angel Hair) Pasta
  • 2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes julienned
  • 1/2 cup Baby Spinach loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Dry White Wine (or Chicken Broth)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 4 ounces Fresh Salmon Fillet cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley chopped, to garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions until just al dente. Drain, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Set aside.
  • Pour oil into a medium skillet. Place over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, add garlic slices. Cook 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Sauté 2 minutes until spinach wilts.
  • Pour in white wine (or broth) and simmer 1 - 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Stir in heavy cream, lemon juice and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Season salmon cubes with salt and pepper. Gently nestle them into the simmering sauce. Cook 3 - 4 minutes, turning once, until just opaque.
  • Add drained capellini to the skillet, tossing to coat. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time until it lightly coats the noodles.
  • Taste. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Divide among warm plates. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and finish with a twist of black pepper.
  • Serve immediately.
