Sun, 7 January 2024

INGREDIENTS:
300g Wholemeal Pasta
1 head of Broccoli, cut into florets
1 cup of Frozen Peas
A couple of large handfuls of Spinach, washed
2 cloves of Garlic, finely chopped
A pinch of dried Chilli Flakes
Lemon Juice
50g Parmesan, grated
Salt
Olive Oil
A handful of fresh Basil leaves.
300g Smoked Salmon

METHOD:
1). Place the pasta into a large pan and add boiling water to cover generously. Add a pinch of
salt.
2). When the pasta is about 3 minutes away from finishing cooking, add the broccoli to the
water. Drain when cooked-making sure the pasta and broccoli are al dente. Try to keep a couple
of tablespoons of the pasta water.
3). In the meantime, place the oil into a large, wide pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic to
the pan, along with the chilli flakes and another drop of oil if necessary. Allow to infuse gently
while the pasta and broccoli are cooking.
4). Toss the pasta and broccoli into the pan and the smoked salmon, peas and spinach.
5). Add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water and squeeze the lemon juice over and finish
with the parmesan cheese and basil. Lovely served with a green salad.
