Pasta with Salmon & Peas
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:

One bite and i'm in LOVE with this recipe taste soooo freaking good omg.
Taste amazing and really simple to make too.
Would recommend this for sure and even the cheesy garlic bread as a side dish for this cause if you have extra sauce you can dip the bread with it.
First time ever making salmon and I actually thought it'd be kinda hard and end up tasting like ocean water but you guys did so good on showing the steps that it turned out fantastic!
Best dinner I've ever made on my own I followed the instructions to the T and pulled off a yummy meal.
What is the creme fraiche and where can I buy it?
Officially my new favorite salmon dish to make.
Doubled everything cause I have a big family, everyone loved it.
Nicely done will be making this a lot more often.
I didn't use any frozen peas in mine because i wanted everything to have a fresh taste.
Smoked salmon? Count me in on this boat.
Good dinner happy family happy life <3
Cool but needed one more knob of butter and don't forget to put butter all around the pot so the noodles don't stick to it either that or some oil/ cooking spray

I used a little bit of yogurt for the sauce (plain yogurt no flavor) and also added some freshly chopped tomatos.
Fusilli pasta is so underrated it looks great and it actually grips on to things cause of it's shape so the flavor sticks to it.
Loved it the flavors were strong and i used bow pasta noodles instead of the ones in the photos
