Creamy Salmon With Gemelli And Veggies Food

GEMELLI WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN TOMATO-BASIL CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onion, carrot and bell pepper. Cook and stir until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the tomato, tomato paste and Parmesan. Add the basil and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Once chicken is cooked through, stir in the Gemelli pasta.
• Serve and enjoy!

SALMON WITH CREAM CHEESE, SPINACH & GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with olive oil. Place salmon fillets in pan. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley and a sprinkle of pepper. Spread this over the salmon fillets. (I usually micrwave this for 20 to 30 seconds to make it easier to spread).
• Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the cream cheese.
• Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly and neatly over the onions (I make 4 layers of leaves).
• Spray or drizzle the spinach leaves with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. It takes a little longer than usual because of all the toppings.
