Pasta with Salmon & Peas

Recipe Description

This Pasta with Salmon & Peas is the best midweek recipe I know. It takes just 5 minutes prep and it cooks in just 10-12 minutes. My kids adore it too, although I must admit that sometimes more peas end up on the floor than in their mouths! You won’t be sorry if you try this recipe!

Start by cooking pasta according to the package directions. As the pasta cooks, start making the sauce by sautéing shallot in melted butter. Add peas and chunks of salmon fillet along with creme fraiche and water. Cook the sauce for a few minutes before stirring in chopped chives and seasoning with black pepper. Coat the pasta with the sauce and serve immediately.

To make Pasta with Salmon & Peas, you will need the following ingredients:
