Bow-Tie Pasta with Salmon
and Tomatoes
Combining pasta with less popular
foods like fish is a good way to encourage children to eat them.
This tasty recipe takes only a few minutes to prepare.
6 ounces bow-tie pasta
7 ounces salmon fillet, skinned
1 pat butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons sour cream
½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon snipped chives
3 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- Cook the pasta in a large pot
of lightly salted boiling water according to the instructions
on the package. Put the salmon into a suitable microwave dish,
dot with the butter, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with
microwave-safe plastic wrap, pierce a few times, and cook for
2 to 2½ minutes, according to the thickness of the fish.
Strain and reserve the juices from the fish.
- Heat the sour cream, ketchup,
and fish juices in a large pan, stirring until blended. Add the
chives and tomatoes, season to taste with salt and pepper, and
simmer for 1 minute. Carefully flake the salmon, checking that
there are no bones, and add to the sauce. Drain the pasta and
toss with the sauce.
Makes 4 portions.
Salmon is good for the heart.
Eating oily fish like salmon can help protect against heart attacks
and strokes by helping to keep blood flowing freely, thus reducing
the risk of a blood clot forming within a blood vessel. The darker
the fish, the higher the levels of fat, so make sure that you
include some dark fish in your child's diet at least once or
twice a week.
