QUICK PASTA WITH SALMON AND TOMATOES IN CREAM SAUCE

Quick Pasta with Salmon and Tomatoes in Cream Sauce image

This is my favorite pasta dish made with fresh salmon and tomatoes in a cream sauce. If you want to reduce the calories, you can use milk for part of the cream, but believe me, with cream it is to die for!

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 ounces salmon fillet, cut into cubes
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat while spaghetti is cooking and cook salmon and garlic until salmon is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer over low heat until flavors are well combined and salmon is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve sauce over cooked pasta.
