• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 (10 ounce) package penne pasta
• ½ pound salmon fillets
• ½ bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add salmon and poach until it flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Remove salmon and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Add pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Add asparagus during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of cooking liquid. Return pasta and asparagus to the pot.

Step 3

Remove salmon skin and discard. Flake salmon into the pan, then add feta cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place over medium-low heat and gently stir to combine with the pasta and asparagus, adding a little of the reserved cooking water as needed to achieve a creamy consistency. Serve immediately.
