This is a great easy dinner recipe that I discovered using leftovers from an easter brunch one year. I like adding the sweet roasted red bell peppers for additional flavor. Ingredients:
12 ounces fusilli |
1 small white onion, halved and thinly sliced |
2 ounces fat free cream cheese, plain |
1/4 cup chives, fresh and minced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers, chopped |
1/2 cup smoked salmon, cut into bite sized pieces |
Directions:
1. Boil cooked pasta according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1/3 cup pasta water.
2. In the hot pasta pot, toss fusilli, cream cheese, chives, red bell peppers, onions, and salmon until well coated. Add a bit of the pasta water, a little at a time to help make a smooth creamy sauce.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Serve and enjoy.
