Ingredients
- 4 ounces spaghetti or any pasta of choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 a 14.75-ounce can salmon drained and flaked
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water for later.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the flaked salmon to the skillet along with lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the salmon mixture in the skillet. Add a splash of pasta water and mix well, and keep adding the water a spoonful at a time until the pasta is no longer dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
