Ingredients

– 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine, linguine, or your choice)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Creating Creamy Tuscan Salmon Pasta is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to bring this delicious dish to life:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Salmon: While the pasta cooks, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
6. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
7. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce.
8. Finish with Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Flake the Salmon: Gently flake the salmon into large pieces and add it back to the skillet, mixing carefully to avoid breaking it apart.
10. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

With these easy steps, you’ll have a creamy, flavorful pasta dish ready to serve in no time!
