How you can refine pasta with salmon and spinach
You feel like giving the pasta even more flavor? No problem. There are no limits to your creativity.
If you have time, you can make the pasta yourself. This way they taste even better. If you want the dish to stay healthy, however, you should not use white flour, but prepare spelt noodles. Or a mixture of spelt and buckwheat.
Mmmhh delicious - spaghetti bolognese without meat!
You can replace the frozen spinach with fresh spinach. You'll need a lot of it, though, because the leaves collapse pretty badly when the pasta is cooked.
If you want, you can replace some of the vegetable broth with white wine. You don't have to stick with salmon, you can use any fish you like. Smoked salmon is also possible.
If you're a big fan of garlic, you can sauté it in the pan with onion and then add the fish.
Lemon zest also goes beautifully with salmon. Add about a teaspoon of lemon zest to the finished dish per plate.
For the eye, red onions are more beautiful than white. And you get a splash of color with tomatoes. Sliced almonds or pine nuts sautéed briefly and hot are also mega delicious with pasta with salmon and spinach.
As a pasta fan, you should know this beet pesto!
As you can see, all options are open to you. If you are unsure, you should first prepare the basic recipe and then refine it. Because too many different ingredients mixed crosswise, rarely result in something good.
And what I certainly can not miss: a pinch of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chili oil.
Our conclusion
Pasta with salmon and spinach is a quick dish that tastes mega delicious. The pieces of zucchini and spinach contain hardly any calories and are very filling at the same time. While the spelt noodles provide you with healthy carbohydrates, you replenish your omega 3 budget with the fish.
And on top of that it tastes just delicious! :) Let it taste good and good luck!
