Method

  1. Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, adding the salmon to the water 6 mins before the end of the cooking time.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan, then cook the pine nuts until toasted. Add the pepper and fry until softened. Tip in the mushrooms and stir until they start to soften, then add a ladleful of the pasta water.
  3. When the pasta is cooked, remove the salmon to a plate, then drain the pasta. Fork the salmon into flakes and add to the vegetables along with the pasta and the basil leaves. Season with pepper and lightly toss together before serving

    I fried the salmon rather than poaching to get some nice crispy bits on it. Make sure you don't use flat mushrooms, like I did, as you get a rather grey-tinged result - not very summery!

    Surely this recipe shouldn't be listed under "Vegetarian" as it contains fish?

    It does contain fish but the 'Try' tip above suggests how to make it veggie. Sorry if there was any confusion. Holly (Researcher, bbcgoodfood.com)

    Used tinned salmon instead with salmon pasta. At the end, stirred in some creme fraiche. Went down a treat! Would make again.

    Just made this as had some left over salmon - very quick and easy to make, like the fact that the salmon is poached in the pasta water. I also added a spoon of creme fraiche at the end, and lots of pepper, plus a hefty squeeze of lemon. Yum :0)

    a little bland despite good ingredients and the addition of some balsamic vinegard and parmesan shavings.

    A nice quick and easy healthy recipe. If you like your salmon cooked through, you might like to cook it for 7 minutes rather than 6, but that is personal preference.
