Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces dried linguine
8 ounces smoked salmon (my favorite is alder smoked salmon from Trader Joe's. ( DO NOT USE LOX STYLE smoked salmon))
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, crushed
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 large roma tomatoes, diced
1 (6 ounce) package organic baby spinach leaves, divided
2 cups chicken broth (or more)
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Saute shallots and garlic in olive oil in a large skillet until soft.
  • Add mushrooms and tomatoes, saute for another 2 mins.
  • Add chicken broth and 3/4 of the spinach; gently simmer over low heat while pasta cooks.
  • Cook pasta a little less time than according to pkg directions.
  • Drain pasta and gently stir it into the sauce.
  • Simmer gently until pasta absorbs some of the sauce, and is cooked to your preference.
  • Crumble the salmon into chunks and gently stir it into the pasta.
  • Add more chicken broth if needed and heat through.
  • Serve on a bed of the reserved spinach and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.
