Greetings everybody, hope you are all well!
So yesterday morning I was watching 'This Morning' and seen Gemma from The only way is Essex making a simple salmon pasta dish, this inspired me for my dinner today and I wanted to share the recipe with you, its incredibly easy, taste very yummy and is so filling!
I will write out the recipe below, SERVES 2.
INGREDIENTS
3 cloves of garlic
2/3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 bowl of shell pasta
1 cup of peas ( Use less if you're not a big fan of peas! )
1 average packet of smoked salmon
A splash of single cream
Salt & pepper
HOW TO MAKE
Put olive oil into jug/bowl then peel your garlic cloves, crush with knife and leave to marinate for as long as possible in the olive oil, the whole day is best..but if you dont have the time dont worry, I only left mine for an hour and it still tasted good!
Next, using a blender, blend the garlic and oil together until it is lighter in colour, the garlic is mostly chopped and the texture is thicker ( THIS IS OPTIONAL, I ONLY DID THIS TO GET THE FLAVOUR OF GARLIC INTO THE OIL MORE AS I DIDN'T MARINATE FOR LONG. )
When you have time, boil the pasta and peas until cooked.
Drain the peas and pasta, grab your marinated oil and heat a large pan.
Once heated, put the oil into the pan and stir for a minute or so, add your drained pasta, peas, smoked salmon and season.
Cook through for a few minutes, stirring well to ensure oil coats all ingredients and then serve up in 2 dishes and add a drizzle of cream over each.
Ta da, here is the finished product!
Looks great doesn't it?
ENJOY!
