Description
This one-pan Smoked Salmon Pasta is a fresh, creamy twist on a classic—easy enough for a weeknight, yet elegant enough to impress. Inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe, this dish layers scallions, leafy greens, and lasagna sheets with smoked salmon in a pan, topped with lemon zest, creamy cottage cheese, and grated Parmesan. It’s light, vibrant, and packed with flavor—plus, it all comes together in one pan with minimal fuss.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 1/2 oz lasagna sheets
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 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
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 Tablespoons cottage cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh chopped parsley as garnish
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. While the water boils, carefully cut the lasagna sheets into quarters with a knife and set aside.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a wide, shallow pan. Once the pan is heated, add the scallions and cook for 1–2 minutes until softened.
- Add in the spinach and kale mix and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Gently stir in half of the salmon. Then add the lemon zest and the lasagna sheets, and pour in 1 cup of the boiling water over the lasagna or just enough to cover it.
- Cook the lasagna for 4 minutes or until it’s absorbed most of the water, stirring regularly. If needed, add more water if it’s absorbed before the pasta is done.
- Remove the pan from the stove and add lemon juice, cottage cheese, and grated Parmesan. Add the remaining salmon and stir everything together gently to create a creamy, light sauce.
- Season to taste with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Top off the pasta with the fresh parsley or other herb of choice (optional) and serve immediately.
