Ingredients
- 3 cups rigatoni
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 312 grams baby spinach 11 ounces, 1 container
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cans salmon skinless and boneless, no salt added drained (150 grams per can)
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup grated parmesan or more
- ¼ cup fresh basil ribboned
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet with a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for a minute or until fragrant.
- Add the baby spinach to the skillet and saute until wilted, for around 2 to 3 minutes. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta under al dente, stirring occasion, according to package instructions. Drain when finished, making sure to reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water. My rigatoni takes 12 minutes to cook.
- Add the pasta, canned salmon (drained), lemon zest, lemon juice, parmesan, peas, half a cup of pasta water, and the last tablespoon of oil.
- Toss until well combined. Add more pasta water as needed. Finish with some basil before serving. Top with more parmesan, if desired.
