This pasta came out of one of those nights when I was searching the kitchen for something to cook so I would not have to go to the store. You know how that goes, we've all had them. I would have eaten just about anything because I was in my pj's and was NOT going to get dressed no matter what.
I found a really sad piece of salmon in the freezer, along with some peas, and a box of gluten free pasta in the pantry. I figured I could make something happen with that. I mean if you have pasta in the house you have a meal.
The surprising thing is that it turned out so good my husband kept asking me if I wrote down the recipe. Of course I had not, but figured I better do so right away before I forget what I did. Now it is one of our favorite quick night meals.
Ingredients:
Shallots
Stock
Butter
Cream
Salt and Pepper
Peas
Salmon
Cheese
Pasta (use regular or gluten free)
Cook the salmon in a saute pan for a couple minutes per side, then set aside to cool. Break up into bite size pieces.
Cook the pasta while you are making the sauce.
In the same saute pan you cooked the salmon in cook the minced shallots, then add some chicken or vegetable stock, reduce slightly, add some butter and cream and continue to cook for a few minutes. Add the peas and cook until just heated through. Season with salt and pepper, add the salmon. Add the pasta to the pan and toss gently. Add some cheese and serve.
