HEALTHY Creamy Salmon Pasta | Easy ONE-PAN 30 Minute Recipe

This HEALTHY Creamy Salmon Pasta is loaded with flavors, seriously easy to make and done in just 30 minutes. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish red wine, more specifically from the region of Jumilla for a delicious meal.

What makes this pasta dish special are two elements. The first one is that it’s a one-pan dish. This means the pasta gets cooked in the same pan as the rest of the ingredients. And for the second, we’re using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream, making this dish so much healthier but still giving it that creamy goodness.

To make this pasta dish I used penne pasta. But you can use any pasta you like. Just make sure to check the package instructions. That way you cook your pasta perfectly al dente. For the liquid, I used homemade vegetable broth. You can also use chicken broth, beef broth or even water.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: If you see your pasta is not cooked all the way through, just add in some more liquid and simmer until done. Make sure to add the yogurt at room temperature. Otherwise, it can easily curdle. If you see your cream sauce is too thick, just add in some more broth.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 35 ml
• 1 shallot
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams
• 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz / 410 grams
• 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth 600 ml
• 8 oz penne pasta 225 grams
• 1 can salmon 6 oz / 170 grams
• 1 containes plain Greek yogurt 5.3 oz / 150 grams
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 8 grams
• sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

2. In the meantime, thinly slice the shallot and roughly chop the garlic

3. Add the cut ingredients into the hot fry pan, mix continuously, after 2 to 3 minutes and the shallot is translucent, add in the paprika and thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the canned diced tomatoes and season with sea salt & black pepper, turn it up to a high heat, mix together and then simmer

4. After 3 minutes and the juices from the canned tomato have slightly reduced, add in the broth, gently mix together, once it comes to a boil add in the pasta, mix every 1 to 2 minutes so the pasta doesn't stick together and it all evenly cooks

5. After 8 to 9 minutes and most of the broth has been absorbed but there is still some broth left, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente, then remove the lid and the pan from the heat

6. While the pasta is cooling off, drain the can of salmon into a fine sieve, gently flake the salmon

7. Once the pasta has slightly cooled off, about 3 to 4 minutes, add in the canned salmon, greek yogurt at room temperature, the chopped parsley and season generously with black pepper, mix together until well mixed

8. Transfer into serving dishes or serve directly out of the pan, enjoy!
