Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Salmon Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 ounces of your favorite pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
- Add 6 ounces of salmon to the skillet and cook (fresh for about 5 minutes, or canned for 2-3 minutes) until tender and flaky.
- Stir in 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until melted into a creamy sauce.
- Add the drained pasta and 1/2 cup of fresh spinach to the skillet, gently tossing to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs.

Notes
Ensure pasta is al dente. For a richer sauce, opt for full-fat cottage cheese. Fresh herbs enhance flavor when added before serving.
