This recipe is from the show Fixing Dinner by Sandi Richard. Her recipes are usually on the table in less than a half hour. I usually like to grill extra salmon to make this meal the following day. It is very well received at our house. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 cups milk (i use fat free milk) |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups whole wheat penne, dried |
2/3 cup low-fat parmesan cheese, grated |
2 tablespoons pesto sauce |
300 g salmon, seared and cut into chunks |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta accordingly to directions.
2. Melt butter and olive oil in a large non stick frying pan and then stir in flour until pasty gradually stirring in the milk followed by the pepper.
3. Stir parmesan cheese into cream sauce stirring until thoroughly blended.
4. Stir in pesto and cook on low for a few minutes until thickened.
5. Stir in chunks of salmon just before serving to heat through.
6. Serve over pasta and enjoy.
