Ingredients
- 8 ounces Capellini (Angel Hair) Pasta
- 2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes julienned
- 1/2 cup Baby Spinach loosely packed
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Dry White Wine (or Chicken Broth)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 4 ounces Fresh Salmon Fillet cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley chopped, to garnish
Instructions
- Cook the capellini according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
- Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Then, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking for 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
- Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Season the cubed salmon with salt and pepper and gently nestle them into the sauce. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until the salmon is just opaque.
- Toss the drained capellini into the skillet, ensuring it's coated well. If the sauce appears too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Plate the dish among warm plates, garnishing with chopped parsley and a twist of black pepper.
- Serve immediately.
