Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 8 oz Pasta Use any shape that you love for your comfort meal.
For the Salmon
  • 6 oz Salmon Fresh or canned adds rich flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Can substitute with ricotta if desired.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Butter can be substituted for more richness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh is best; garlic powder is a convenient alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice Fresh lemon juice is best for brightness.
For the Garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil water and add pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant, ensuring it does not brown.
  3. Gently fold in the salmon pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through.
  4. Stir in the cottage cheese and lemon juice until well combined. Cook for a couple of minutes until heated through and creamy.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to coat all pasta strands evenly with the sauce.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for color and brightness.
