Salmon Pasta with a Creamy Garlic Sauce

This is one of those dishes that tastes like some effort was put in, but it’s actually easy enough to make without gnawing your arm off when you’re starving after a long day at work.

And the best part is that you can finish off the bottle of wine while you’re cooking this. Just kidding. Sort of.

This creamy garlic salmon pasta dish is a good option for a date night in, or you can easily double (or triple) the recipe if you have guests to feed without adding a lot of extra work. I used fettuccine, but feel free to use your favorite pasta or whatever’s in the cupboard.

Quickly searing the salmon makes it extra tasty. Piping hot pasta, butter, white wine, cream, and parmesan cheese = decadence in a bowl.

There’s no fancy ingredients in here… but you’ll get restaurant-quality results for a fraction of the price.
