Creamy Roasted Salmon Linguine

Hi Foodie friends,

Am loving the cooler weather,  and nothing says Fall like cozy, comforting pasta meals.

This spinach linguine with roasted salmon is easy and quick. It can be on your table in 30 minutes,  it’s a prefect

way to show off what a great “home chef” you are. Simple yet impressive, this is a prefect recipe for a quite date night at home or

a louder time with family and friends. Salmon can be expensive, if you add it to pasta, it’s  an affordable meal you can have on your weekly menu.

This recipe was inspired by my love of seafood pasta, one of my top restaurant’ luxury’ meals, I simplified the recipe  for the” home chef”.

Roasting the salmon is an easy way to make sure you don’t overcook it, I cut it into large chunks before tossing it with the butter and oil I use my toaster oven when to roast the

salmon, it saves on time and money, not having to heat up my big oven for small meal prep recipes.. https://amzn.to/2Kxa163

The more cut surfaces you have the more flavor is infused into the fish, but it can overcook quickly.  you  don’t want that so keep on eye on it.

I don’t drink alcohol, so I give you options in all my recipes to use wine or stock, use whatever fits your lifestyle and taste.

In some recipes I do use wine, Am okay with that, if your not use stock.

When cooking pasta salt the water and add 1 tablespoon of oil to flavor and keep the pasta from sticking. The water

should be boiling rapidly before dropping the pasta. I used spinach linguine, you can use any shape pasta or flavor pasta you like.

It’s also easier if the pasta water pan is on the back burner and the saute pan on the front one.

I  like this 8 quart stock pot for pasta and soups https://amzn.to/2CVLinE

The saute pan needs more tending to than the pasta water.

In the restaurant we precooked our pasta halfway and ran it under cold water to stop the cooking process,

when we had an order we put the pasta in a strainer, dropped in boiling water, it taste like it was just cooked .

You can use the same process at home, if you cooked to much it stays fresh for 1 to 2 days.

.The whole idea behind food and creating recipes is to experiment and have fun doing it…..!!!!!Happy day
