I tried another one of Giada's recipes for our dinner, a healthy pasta dish. When we (me and my husband) ate this pasta, we felt so satisfied and the most important thing is that it is healthy and nutritious.
For 2 servings:
1/4 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
1 garlic clove, minced or grated
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for the pasta dressing
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil to cook the Salmon
2 (2-ounce) salmon fillets
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves/ sometimes I change the baby spinach with broccoli or you can change with other vegetables whatever you like as long as it matches with spaghetti.
Bring a medium-sized pan of salted water to a boil over a high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to bite (al dente), stirring occasionally about 8 to 10 minutes, or you can follow the package instructions. Drain the pasta and transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Ad the garlic , extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss together.
Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a medium skillet at medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the skillet and cook until medium rare for about 2 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Remove the salmon from the pan.
Add the basil, capers, lemon juice to the spaghetti and toss together. Prepare 2 serving plates or shallow bowls. Place a half cup spinach in each bowl. Top up with half of the pasta. Top up each mound of pasta with a piece of salmon.
Serve immediately!
Eet smakelijk!
