One-Pot Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta with Spinach
Description
The recipe starts by gently cooking minced garlic in olive oil, then adding milk or heavy cream and vegetable broth to create a mildly thickened sauce seasoned with salt and pepper. Tagliatelle, baby spinach, and smoked salmon are added to this one-pot mixture where the pasta cooks through, softening in the flavorful liquid. Stirring during cooking helps even heat distribution and sauce absorption.
Once the pasta is tender, optional grated Parmesan cheese is stirred in to enrich the texture and flavor. The dish can be garnished with salmon caviar to add a subtle briny note and visual appeal.
This one-pot method reduces cleanup and allows the flavors to meld during cooking, offering a creamy, savory meal suitable for lunch or dinner. Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within two days.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 240 ml or 1 cup milk or heavy cream
- 480 ml or 2 cups vegetable broth
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 250 grams or 9 oz whole wheat tagliatelle e.g. gluten-free, or any other pasta of your choice
- 60 grams or 2 cups baby spinach raw
- 100 grams or 3.5 oz smoked salmon
- 30 grams or 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese optional, grated
- 2 teaspoons salmon caviar to garnish
Instructions
- Mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add heavy cream, vegetable broth and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bring to a boil and add pasta, baby spinach and smoked salmon. Reduce the heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through (check the instructions on the package). If it's too thick add a bit of hot water. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with salmon caviar. Enjoy!
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, best reheated gently to avoid drying out.
