Ingredients
- 400 g penne or tagliatelle pasta
- 500 g salmon fillet
- 150 g basil pesto
- 250 ml 30% cream
- 50 g Parmesan
- 2 szt garlic
- 2 łyżka olive oil
Preparation
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions until it is al dente. Drain, reserving half a glass of the cooking water.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the diced salmon for about 4–5 minutes, until it is golden brown on all sides. Remove the fish from the skillet.
- Add the pressed garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in the 30% cream and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the pesto and grated Parmesan to the cream. Stir until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the pasta cooking water.
- Add the cooked pasta and the pan-seared salmon to the sauce. Gently stir everything together so the ingredients combine, and heat for one minute.
