You know, I was thinkin’ the other day, pasta’s a real nice dish, ain’t it? You can make it all sorts of ways, but this one with salmon and peas is somethin’ special. It’s simple, but boy, it sure fills ya up and tastes mighty good too. So let me tell ya how to whip it up, nothin’ fancy, just good ol’ home cookin’.
First thing, you gotta get ya some pasta. It don’t matter much what kind, but I like the thick ones like fettuccine or spaghetti. Make sure it’s nice and chewy, that’s the key! Ya boil it up just like you always do—put it in a big pot of water, sprinkle a little salt, and let it cook till it’s just right. You want it to be al dente, ya know, a little firm but not too hard.
While that pasta’s cookin’, let’s talk about the salmon. Now, I always say fresh fish is the best, but if you got canned or frozen, that works too. Just make sure it’s good, not too smelly, ya don’t want no fishy taste ruin’ your dish. If you got fresh, chop it up into little bits, not too big though, so it mixes nice with everything.
Next, ya need some peas. Fresh peas are lovely, but if you ain’t got ‘em, those frozen ones will do just fine. You toss ‘em in a pan with a little bit of oil, maybe olive oil if you got it. Heat it up, but don’t overcook it, we ain’t tryin’ to make ‘em mushy, just warm ‘em up real good.
Now, here’s where it gets good. In a separate pan, you need to make a creamy sauce. Just a simple one, nothin’ too fancy. Start with a little butter, melt that down real nice. Then, add some shallots—or onion if ya ain’t got shallots—chop ‘em up fine, and let ‘em cook till they’re soft and sweet. After that, pour in some double cream. It’s got that rich, smooth flavor that makes everything come together. Stir it up, and let it simmer for a bit, but don’t let it burn. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, just to bring out the flavors.
Now, once your pasta is done and drained, toss it right into that creamy sauce. Don’t forget to add the salmon and peas. Give it a good stir, make sure everything’s nice and coated with that creamy goodness. Taste it—might need a bit more salt or pepper, depending on what you like. You can also sprinkle a little parmesan on top if ya got it, gives it a nice touch.
There ya go, pasta with salmon and peas. It’s so easy, and sure makes a hearty meal. You got your protein from the salmon, your veggies from the peas, and a nice, filling dish from the pasta. Ain’t no need for nothin’ too complicated, just simple, good food that’ll fill you up and leave you feelin’ satisfied. I reckon you’ll enjoy it just as much as I do!
