Salmon And Broccoli Pasta Recipes

SALMON BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot (cook broccoli then use same water to cook pasta to save time). Pull the broccoli apart into small trees. Cook broccoli for about 5 minutes and take out and drain and run under cold water.
• Keep the pot of water on and boiling then add salt and cook pasta according to package directions; drain and drizzle a little olive oil to keep from clumping, set aside.
• Melt the butter and add the olive oil using low heat in a large sauce pan (or use the same pot to reduce dishes).
• Saute garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, add in half and half, a little salt, and cook just until half and half is heated up.
• Add the broccoli, salmon, and pasta, let that soak up the sauce.
• Next add the ricotta cheese and mix it inches Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add chives if desired.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

SALMON AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO WITH PASTA

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, cook noodles as directed on package.
• While noodles are cooking, flake and drain salmon.
• Yes, this is necessary!
• I was new to canned salmon, and so I didn't believe the instructions, but I soon discovered that salmon truly does come in huge, icky lumps.
• When noodles are 2 to 4 minutes away from being done, add the broccoli to the water.
• This will probably stop the water from boiling, so those 2 to 4 minutes might end up closer to 8 to 10 minutes instead!
• This happened to me, but, amazingly, even with 8 extra minutes of cooking time the broccoli did not become mush.
• Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving about a cup of the cooking water.
• Return noodles and broccoli to pot.
• Add Alfredo and seasonings to taste (I recommend lots of black pepper and--even better--Trader Joe's Sun-Dried Tomato Seasoning Splash, which is sold, not surprisingly, at Trader Joe's-- about 8 teaspoons of it).
• If the sauce is too thick, and it likely will be, dribble in the reserved cooking water slowly until the consistency is right.
• And you're done.
• Woo hoo.
• You just opened some cans, and a jar, and a box, and a package, and now you have yummy pasta.
• Enjoy.

ITALIAN BROCCOLI & SALMON PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F and get out an ovenproof dish (measuring 10in by 15in, and about 2.5in deep). Meanwhile, put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta. When it is boiling rapidly, tip in the pasta with a generous sprinkling of salt. Give it a stir, return to the boil and cook for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli, then return the water to the boil and cook for 4 minutes more, until the broccoli is on the firm side of just tender. Drain well.
• While the pasta is cooking, put the butter, flour and milk in a large pan and heat, whisking or stirring continuously, until it thickens to make a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone, galric, sun-dried tomatoes, capers (if using), anchovies (if using) and basil, and salt and pepper then add the pasta and broccoli and mix well.
• Halve the salmon fillets widthways (you will see that there is an obvious divide on each fillet) then place the pieces in a single layer on the base of the ovenproof dish. Spoon the broccoli mixture on top, then scatter with the grated cheddar and parmesan. (You can chill this for up to 4 hours if you want to get ahead.)
• Bake for 30 minutes until the mixture is just starting to bubble round the edges and the mixture is pale golden - don't let it go too dark or the fish will overcook.
