Simple Eats | Salmon linguini in a creamed spinach sauce

I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for a couple of weeks now, ever since I last made it in fact. I’ve made it twice and both times, it’s been a huge hit with the family (yes, even Alfie!). I have Kitchen Stories to thank for this gem and totally recommend downloading the app. This isn’t an ad or collaboration or anything like that, I just really like the app and find plenty of inspiration for mealtimes on there.

Whether you’re just starting out in the kitchen, are a bit of a foodie or simply aiming to impress (your partner, or for a dinner party), there are hundreds of free recipes. Not only that, but there are tips, articles and videos along the way too. I’ve already got three personalised cookbooks full of recipes to try (or ones I’ve already tried and love) and you can even add the ingredients you need to your shopping list.

One of the best things about the app is that you can add photos once to the recipes once you’ve cooked them and also add comments – say for example, you adapt the recipe in some way, you can let the community know and it may well inspire them next time. This recipe originally called for tagliatelle, but I only eat wholewheat pasta and so, cooked this with brown linguini... I can’t imagine it really made that much difference and you could always use fettuccine, spaghetti or pappardelle.

This recipe serves two, although I managed to stretch a toddler-sized portion out of it, too.

Ingredients

·         150g linguini (or whichever pasta you choose)

·         2 skinless salmon fillets

·         2 large handfuls of spinach

·         1 clove of garlic

·         ½ tbs butter

·         150ml double cream

·         Seasoning to taste

·         Parmesan to serve

Method

·         Peel and finely chop the garlic

·         Melt the butter in the frying pan and gently sauté the garlic, until golden but not burning

·         Add the cream and leave to simmer on a medium heat

·         Wash the spinach and add to the cream. Cook until wilted

·         Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet’s instructions and then drain

·         Chop the salmon and add to the frying pan. Add the pasta and mix well, before cooking for 3-4 minutes

·         Season and serve with the grated parmesan
