Salmon Spaghetti Soup With Broccoli Pesto Food

CREAMY PESTO PASTA WITH SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Boil water & put on pasta.
• 2. Remove any skin from salmon. Salt and pepper & grill 4-6 minutes on each side. You'll know it's done when the salmon becomes flakey.
• 3. In a small sauce pan, mix pesto sauce mix with the oil and milk. Stir constantly and bring to a low boil. Turn heat down and continue to stir until all oil has been incorporated and the sauce begins to thicken.
• 4. Add mushrooms to sauce and allow them to cook a little while the pasta gets to al dente.
• 5. Drain pasta and seperate out into bowls evenly. Put both cheeses (the amount depends on how much you like -- I prefer one slice of provolone and a pinch of shaved parmesan).
• 6. Poor creamy pesto sauce with mushrooms over cheese and pasta.
• 7. Top with grilled salmon fillets. You can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if you'd like to, just go light!

SALMON BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot (cook broccoli then use same water to cook pasta to save time). Pull the broccoli apart into small trees. Cook broccoli for about 5 minutes and take out and drain and run under cold water.
• Keep the pot of water on and boiling then add salt and cook pasta according to package directions; drain and drizzle a little olive oil to keep from clumping, set aside.
• Melt the butter and add the olive oil using low heat in a large sauce pan (or use the same pot to reduce dishes).
• Saute garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, add in half and half, a little salt, and cook just until half and half is heated up.
• Add the broccoli, salmon, and pasta, let that soak up the sauce.
• Next add the ricotta cheese and mix it inches Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add chives if desired.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
