CREAMY PESTO PASTA WITH SALMON
Oh so yummy & oh so quick! I prefer to use Dreamfield's pasta, as it has very few digestable carbs and makes this dish even healthier! If you can't find Dreamfield's whole wheat pasta also works! I promise, you won't feel like this is a diet dish in the end!

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!

Steps:
- Remove and discard all tough stems from the basil. Put 2 cups of the basil leaves in the container of a food processor. Add the 1/2 cup of oil, pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend well to a fine texture. Add the cheese, and blend quickly.
- Cut the salmon on the diagonal into 1-inch thick slices.
- Lightly salt the water, and cook the linguine until al dente. Drain, but reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the pasta to the pot in which it was cooked. Add half of the pesto sauce, the reserved cooking liquid, salt and pepper. Blend well, and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon in one layer. Add the salmon slices, and season with salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring about 1 minute. Add the shallots, cook and stir 1 minute more. Keep warm.
- Divide the linguine equally on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon equal portions of the salmon mixture over each, and drizzle the remaining pesto sauce over all. Garnish with the remaining 1/3 cup basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- You can either steam or roast the salmon, depending if you want to turn the oven on or not. To roast, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and roast for 12 mins until opaque and the flesh starts to flake when pressed. To steam, place the fillets skin-side down in a steamer, and steam over a pan of simmering water for 8-10 mins until cooked.
- While the salmon is cooking, boil the pasta for 10 mins until al dente, then drain, reserving 100ml of the pasta water.
- Heat the oil on a medium heat in a wide frying pan and fry the shallot for 6 mins until softened, but not turning golden. Add the garlic and fry for a minute more until fragrant. Add the wine, bubble for a few minutes until reduced by half, then add the cream and season well. Bring to a very gentle simmer.
- Flake the cooked salmon into big chunky pieces, leaving the skin behind. Add to the sauce with the cooked pasta. Add the lemon zest, a squeeze of the juice and most of the dill. Add a splash of the pasta water to the sauce to coat the pasta if you need to. Toss gently to keep the salmon in big pieces. Check the seasoning, if using double cream you may need a squeeze more lemon juice. Grind over some black pepper and scatter over the remaining dill. Serve with a green salad.
