Ingredients

  • 4 ounces spaghetti or any pasta of choice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 a 14.75-ounce can salmon drained and flaked
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water for later.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the flaked salmon to the skillet along with lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Toss the cooked pasta with the salmon mixture in the skillet. Add a splash of pasta water and mix well, and keep adding the water a spoonful at a time until the pasta is no longer dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
