Creamy Salmon Pasta + Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Slice

Tonight I want to quickly share a recipe with you all that I just created!

Damo said he felt like pasta for dinner so I whipped up a creamed based salmon sauce!

I don't really have a name for it yet but I was promptly told it was "very yummy baby" and it was enjoyed so much so that he finished his own bowl and then proceeded to finish the scraps at the bottom of my bowl!

So here's the recipe but feel free to tweak it as much as you like as I only quickly slapped it together.

Ingredients:
brown onion, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
6 mushrooms, thinly sliced
50g baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 tbps italian parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp parmesan cheese, finely grated
dash of white wine (maybe like 1/4-1/2 cup??)
250ml light philadelphia cream for cooking
185g can Tassal premium tasmanian salmon in springwater
1 tsp cornflour
Linguine pasta

Method:

1. Heat oil in pot and saute onion until soft, add garlic and cook for about a minute. 
2. Add the mushrooms and wine and stir until mushrooms are soft. 
3. Add the cream and stir until smooth and combined, add the cornflour and leave to slightly thicken for about 2 minutes. 
4. Add in can of salmon and stir to separate chunks until salmon is evenly distributed.
5. Add the spinach, parsley and cook until spinach is tender, stirring occasionally.
6. Stir in cheese before serving.
7. Serve with linguine and topped with parmesan cheese.

ENJOY... oh and it goes very well with a big glass of Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc!

Little side note - I love using Philadelphia cream for cooking (still dreaming that those hot angel guys will appear in my kitchen) and I always use the light version. Kraft have released a few cream cheese cookbooks over the years but I have recently discovered that they have published all of the recipes at http://www.philadelphiacreamcheese.com.au/Recipes/Dinner.aspx so go and check it out.

If you're feeling adventurous you could try the yummy yummy cookies and cream cheesecake slice, I have included a picture below because Steph (from work) made it last weekend and brought me a piece to work.. absolutely divine!!

Peace out.. G xx
