Description
This creamy One-Pan Smoked Salmon Pasta comes together in just 20 minutes, using just one skillet and simple, budget-friendly ingredients. Quartered lasagna sheets simmer right in the pan with scallions, wilted greens, and smoked salmon, then get finished with a light, tangy sauce of cottage cheese, Parmesan, and fresh lemon. No boiling pasta separately, no extra pots to wash; just a quick, satisfying dinner for two that feels a little fancy without the fuss!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 1/2 oz lasagna sheets, about 4 to 5 sheets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 2 1/2 oz spinach & kale mix (or other mixed greens), chopped
- 3 oz smoked salmon, cut into bite-size strips and divided in half
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Lay out the lasagna sheets on a flat surface. Using a knife, carefully cut the lasagna sheets into quarters and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the spinach and kale mix and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
- Add half of the smoked salmon, the lemon zest, the quartered lasagna sheets, and 1 cup of boiling water to the pan. Stir to combine, then let everything simmer together for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cottage cheese, Parmesan, and lemon juice until the pasta is coated with a light, creamy sauce. Then gently fold in the rest of the salmon.
- Season to taste with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Add a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
