Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta penne or fusilli
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound salmon fillets skin removed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained diced tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and add the Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the salmon from the skillet and break it into bite-sized pieces. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine.
  8. Serve the pasta topped with the salmon pieces, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil if desired.
