ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SALMON AND SPINACH RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Angel Hair Pasta with Salmon and Spinach Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-6055

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound salmon fillets
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon minced garlic (you can always add more if you are like me!)
16 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 pound angel hair pasta, cooked & drained
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into skillet, add salmon fillets and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes ( or until fish flakes easily) Remove from pan, wrap in foil to keep warm. Pour 1 Tablespoon broth into skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour remaining broth into skillet and boil. Add spinach, reduce heat; cover and simmer 3-4 minutes. Slice salmon into bite size chunks. Combine pasta, sauce and salmon in large bowl or serving platter; toss lightly to mix. Sprinkle with Parmesan and sseve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Pasta: Angel hair pasta is a thin, delicate pasta that cooks very quickly. If you prefer a more substantial pasta, you can substitute spaghetti or linguine.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the ideal doneness of pasta, which is slightly firm to the bite. To achieve al dente pasta, cook it for 1-2 minutes less than the package directions.
  • Save Some Pasta Water: Before you drain the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. This starchy water can be used to thin out the sauce or add moisture to the pasta.
  • Season the Chicken Generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to add flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the Chicken Until Golden Brown: Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will give the chicken a nice flavor and texture.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach adds a bright green color and a slightly bitter flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh spinach on hand, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Add the Spinach at the End: Add the spinach to the pasta and sauce at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to preserve the spinach's color and nutrients.
  • Serve Immediately: Angel hair pasta with chicken and spinach is best served immediately. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with chicken and spinach is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of tender chicken, fresh spinach, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a healthy and affordable meal that can be made in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
