Description

A quick and satisfying dinner option featuring tender pasta mixed with creamy salmon and zesty lemon.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or your choice)
  • 1 can of salmon (about 14 oz)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the canned salmon (drained) to the pan, breaking it up gently with a spoon.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to combine everything thoroughly.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired.

Notes

For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of cream or some grated cheese. Fresh herbs add flavor and aroma.
