Creamy Salmon With Gemelli And Veggies Recipes

CREAMY SALMON TORTELLINI

Steps:

• Prepare your vegetables and cut the salmon in bite-sized pieces.
• In a large pan, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and add the salmon, dill and tomato. Add a tbsp of water and a pinch of salt, cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the cream cheese, black pepper and add a Tbsp of water (if needed - sometimes tomatoes aren't juicy enough!) to create a creamy sauce.
• Stir in the tortellini pasta and cook in the sauce for 3-4 minutes or however long the package says.
• Lastly, add the garlic, basil, zucchini and stir in the mozzarella cheese.
• Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese on top (if desired!).

GEMELLI WITH ASPARAGUS, SMOKED SALMON, AND DILL

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water 8 minutes. Add asparagus and boil until asparagus is crisp-tender and pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes.
• While pasta is cooking, heat cream just to boiling in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then stir in zest and remove from heat.
• Ladle out 1 cup pasta cooking water and reserve, then drain pasta and asparagus in a colander.
• Toss pasta and asparagus with cream, dill, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water in a large bowl (or in pasta pot). If pasta looks dry, moisten with some of remaining water. Add salmon and toss well.
