Ingredients

12 ounces penne pasta
1 pound salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Flake the salmon into large pieces.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Then pour in heavy cream, add sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning, simmering for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in fresh spinach until wilted; then fold in flaked salmon and Parmesan cheese.
Add the cooked penne, tossing gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
