Ingredients: 4 servings

Ingredients
190 g Barilla PESTO Basilico e Limone
320 g Barilla Al Bronzo Spaghetti
200 g fresh salmon
2 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
Chives, chopped

Preparation

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.

Meanwhile, cut the salmon into 2 cm cubes.

Heat a non-stick frying pan and sear the salmon cubes for a few seconds until lightly cooked on the outside.

Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the salmon and toss gently.

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the Barilla PESTO Basilico e Limone, and add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta evenly.

Finish with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Buon appetito!
