Preparation

Pasta Preparation

1. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Salmon Preparation

2. Prepare the Salmon

Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Finely chop the shallots.

3. Cook the Salmon

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Vodka Sauce Preparation

4. Create the Sauce Base

In the same skillet used for the salmon, add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

5. Add Flavors

Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

6. Add Vodka and Tomatoes

Pour in the vodka, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for another 5 minutes.

7. Finish the Sauce

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to heat through. Add Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, stirring until combined.

Combining Everything

8. Combine Pasta, Peas, and Sauce

Add the cooked farfalle pasta and green peas to the vodka sauce. Gently toss to combine and heat through.

9. Serve

Plate the pasta and top with the cooked salmon fillets. Garnish with additional basil and Parmesan cheese if desired.
