To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have pasta with salmon and cream cheese using 6 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Pasta with salmon and cream cheese:
  1. Prepare 250 g pasta (penne or fusilli)
  2. Make ready 2 salmon fillets, chopped into rectangles or cubes
  3. Take 50 g cream cheese – e.g., Philadelphia Original or cream
  4. Make ready 1 Courgette
  5. Take 50 g grated parmesan cheese, to serve
  6. Make ready 1 tbsp olive oil

Drain and reserve ¼ cup of the starchy cooking water. Put the pasta back into the pot along with the reserved water. While the pasta is still hot, add the cream cheese, dill, green onions, lemon zest and juice, mustard and capers. Spray small rimmed baking pan with nonstick spray.

Steps to make Pasta with salmon and cream cheese:
  1. Chopping the salmon fillets into rectangles or cubes is good. We're going to fry them slowly so they become soft. We'll want them to break apart when we stir them with the pasta. We'll also reserve a few chunks after frying for presentation purposes. I'd suggest removing the skin too, although it can be nice to keep a few with the skin to put on top when serving.
  2. Start cooking the pasta as per packet instructions. Tend towards al dente if you can
  3. Start frying the courgette on a pan with little oil. Wait until they've softened. Then add the salmon. Fry the salmon slowly. Only a little browning. We don't want to sear it. Give it about 5 minutes. Ensure the salmon pieces are cooked throughout.
  4. Once the pasta is done cooking, and once the salmon and courgette are done frying… Retain some of the pasta water in a mug. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  5. Mix the cream cheese in to the pot, making sure all the pasta is coated lightly. Add a little more if needed, but don't overdo it if you've chosen a cream cheese that's on the stronger side.
  6. Mix most of the salmon pieces into the pan. Keep a few salmon pieces aside for later. Mix the pasta so that the salmon breaks apart. At this point I usually add some of the reserve pasta water into the pot to loosen the pasta up a bit. Use your judgement.
  7. Serve the pasta into two bowls, with a dusting of parmesan cheese on top. Add on top some of the reserved salmon pieces, for presentation. Some basil also looks nice, if you have some.

While the pasta is still hot, add the cream cheese, dill, green onions, lemon zest and juice, mustard and capers. Spray small rimmed baking pan with nonstick spray. Cook the salmon: The salmon for this creamy pasta is simply seared before being flaked into the sauce. Pat skin-on salmon fillets dry with paper towels then season generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with a few teaspoons of olive oil. Fold the cooked pasta into the vegetables, flake the salmon, and add to the pasta dish along with the cheese.
