Well, folks, let me tell ya somethin’ about this dish I made the other day. It’s called salmon with peas and pasta, and it’s mighty tasty. Ain’t no fancy stuff in it, just some good old-fashioned ingredients that anyone can get their hands on. You got your salmon, your peas, and your pasta, and then you throw in a little bit of cream and mix it all up. Simple as pie!
Now, first thing you wanna do is get ya some good salmon. Ain’t no need to get the fancy kind, just some regular salmon will do. You can get it fresh or even the canned stuff, whatever’s cheaper. I usually go with fresh ’cause it’s better, but like I said, whatever works for ya. Once you got your salmon, you need to cook it up. Just throw it in a pan with a little bit of oil and cook it ’til it’s nice and crispy. Don’t burn it, though! We ain’t tryin’ to ruin supper here. When it’s done, take it out and set it aside for later.
Next, you’ll need some peas. Now, I use frozen peas, ’cause they’re quick and easy. You can use fresh ones if you got ’em, but frozen peas work just fine. Throw ’em in a pot of boiling water and cook ’em up. Don’t take too long on this, just a few minutes, ‘til they’re nice and soft but not mushy. Drain ‘em, and you’re all set.
Now, here’s where things get real good. You need to make a nice creamy sauce. Ain’t hard to do, don’t worry. You just need some butter, flour, and a little bit of milk. Melt the butter in a pan, then sprinkle in the flour. Stir it up real good, then slowly add in the milk while you’re stirrin’. You don’t want no lumps in it, so keep stirrin’ ’til it gets smooth. Let that sauce cook for a minute or two ‘til it thickens up real nice. Then, throw in a pinch of salt and pepper to make it taste just right.
Now, when that sauce is all thick and creamy, toss in the peas and the cooked salmon. Break the salmon up into little pieces so it mixes in good. Stir it all up and let it cook together for a bit, so the flavors can blend. Trust me, it smells so good, you’ll be ready to eat right then and there!
While all that’s cookin’, you wanna get your pasta ready. I like to use fettuccine, but any kind of pasta you got will work. Just cook it ‘til it’s al dente—don’t overdo it, you want it firm, not mushy. Drain the pasta, then toss it in with the salmon and peas mixture. Stir it all up, and now you got yourself a big ol’ plate of creamy goodness!
That’s it, folks. Ain’t no big secret here, just good food that’s easy to make. Serve it up with a little bit of parmesan cheese if you want, but honestly, it’s tasty enough without it. You got your salmon, your peas, and your pasta all mixed together in a creamy sauce, and let me tell ya, it’s good. You’ll love it, I promise!
