2 Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain, leaving some of cooking water in pan.
3 Add salmon with vegetables and heat through. Add dressing with lemon zest and juice. Toss lightly. Serve with freshly ground black pepper and dill or parsley. If you prefer, you can serve this pasta dish cold.
Variations
Make it gluten free: Check horseradish is gluten free and use gluten-free pasta.
HFG tip
- Pasta made from whole grains is higher in fibre than white pasta. We’ve called it wholemeal pasta but your pasta may be called wholewheat pasta.
- Cook pasta in lightly salted water until al dente – ie. until it is tender but still has some bite!
- Once cooked, drain pasta, leaving a little of the cooking water still in the pan. This stops the pasta sticking.
