This dish sounds fancier than it is. I had bought this organic wheat pasta at Trader Joe's and had saved it for a creamy dish, since I think long, thick pastas go well with creamy sauces. And the other day I had nothing on my fridge but 2 small pieces of salmon that wouldn't be enough for one meal for us, nonetheless counting with left overs for lunches next day. So I went in the fridge and gathered everything that I could put together to make a nice pasta dish.
I cooked the salmon on a pan with olive oil and garlic, salt and pepper. Cut it in pieces and put over the cooked pasta. On the same pan, with the left over oil I cooked spinach and add to the pasta. Plus I mixed in some sliced prosciutto and mozzarella. On the side I made a creamy sauce and poured on top.
The end result was cheesy and rich. Hungry Dad that usually is not crazy about "creamy sauces" said this was delicious.
Cream sauce:
Warm milk on a small pot, add flour and continuously mix until it starts getting thick. (If the flour starts forming little balls, I simply use a blender to get rid of that).Once it starts forming a nice thick consistency, add butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, a touch of lemon juice.
