- 300 g penne pasta
- 2 salmon fillets
- 100 ml double cream
- 100 g frozen peas
- 100 g smoked salmon

- Chop your salmon fillet into chunks.
- Drain pasta and peas and pour into the baking dish you'll use to cook the bake in. Mix in the double cream. Season. Dot around the salmon chunks.
- Crush the cheese puffs whilst still in their crisp packet. Sprinkle on top of the pasta bake. Bake the pasta in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
- Once cooked, tear the smoked salmon into little pieces and decorate the pasta bake with them. Serve with an optional slice of lemon.

Notes
- Storage - this salmon pasta bake will keep well for 1 day in the fridge, if stored in a well-sealed container.
- Freezing - I wouldn't recommend freezing as it's such a quick and easy one to make, and pasta tastes so much better fresh! However if you want, it'll keep frozen for 2 months. Defrost thoroughly before re-heating (see below).
- Re-heating - since this bake contains fish, you'll need to re-heat thoroughly. Zap in the microwave for a couple of minutes, or heat in a pan until piping hot (make sure you stir constantly though as the pasta may dry and stick). Microwave will be the best option.
