Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water (4). Add the well-drained salmon to the broccoli and cook for a few minutes, adding salt and pepper. Drain the pasta al dente and toss in a pan with the sauce, so as to flavour it to the fullest (5). Your broccoli and salmon pasta is ready to be served with flakes of parmesan or simply with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (6).

Advice

You can also use smoked salmon if you prefer: cut it into small pieces, cook it for a couple of minutes in a pan with the broccoli and proceed as per recipe.

To make the dish more creamy, you can blend a part of the broccoli: you will create a really delicious broccoli cream that will help you to tie the sauce to the pasta.

If you want to tone down the intense flavour of the broccoli, you can flavour it with a little wild fennel. You can also replace the broccoli cabbage, used for our recipe, with Romanesco cabbage and choose the pasta format you prefer from penne rigate, farfalle, fusilli, orecchiette, mezze sleeves or spaghetti.

Also try the broccoli and tuna spaghetti, very simple and delicious for a quick and tasty lunch ready in no time. But there are many recipes with broccoli that you can make between first courses, main courses and side dishes, all simple and tasty preparations.

storage

It is advisable to consume the broccoli and salmon pasta immediately after preparation. If it should be leftover, you can keep it in the refrigerator for 1 day in an airtight container.
