Ingredients

2 servings 3 servings 4 servings
  • 2 demi garlic baguettes
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 150 gr creme fraiche
  • 10 gr vegetable stock paste
  • 200 gr fresh tagliatelle
  • 32 gr fresh pesto
  • 40 gr baby spinach
  • 40 gr grated hard italian style cheese
  • 250 ml water for the sauce

Instructions


  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
    Place the garlic baguettes onto one side of a lined baking tray.
    Lay the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the other side of the tray. Season with salt and pepper. 
    When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

  2. Meanwhile, add the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry) to a saucepan.
    Heat on high and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat.
    Stir in the fresh tagliatelle. Simmer, 5-6 mins.
    Next, stir in the pesto, spinach and half the cheese, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.

  3. Stir a knob of butter (if you'd like) into the pasta.
    Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.
    Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the salmon. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. 
    Slice and serve the garlic bread alongside.

    Enjoy!
