Do you think this would taste nice? Pasta with tinned salmon and peas.

[SilentBoob]

I have a tin of Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon in brine with no skin or bones.

Do you think it would work to mix it into some warm pasta with hot (frozen) peas and a slug of olive oil?

Or would that be horrid?

Sounds nice, in fact, very much like a recipe that we have here in the depths of my recipe folder except that uses fresh salmon.

Add some grated cheese and creme fraiche instead of the olive oil, mixed with pasta this used to be a tea-time staple when the DCs where small

It needs something else I think.

Can you make a sauce with some creme fraiche and lemon (if you have some). Failing that I would toss the pasta in butter as opposed to olive oil, imo it would go better. And lots o salt and pepper, I think it would be nice. I must adm,it I have never eaten tinned salmon though.

Someone a lot more useful than me will be along in a sec.

I'd like it ! but hen I have slightly odd food taste and love peas.. umm hungry can you add some cream and cheese too..

we do this but with pesto on the pasta (works the same with tuna or with cooked chicken leftovers) at least once a week!

Son has a dairy allergy so nay to all the highly sensible suggestions of making it nice with butter, cheese and cream. Sigh. All good things come out of cows.

A bit of lemon might be nice though. And a smattering of thyme.

It would be tasty.
Possible improvements - add a fish stock cube to the boiling water before you put the pasta in to cook.
Few drops of lemon juice?
Personally I would not go down the cheese route as that would make it creamy sauce not fresh/light and double the calories.

Success!!

Husband had seconds.
Daughter had seconds.
Son had thirds.

Sounds really good to me.
I will make this for my dairy free son!

Also good with rice, and can be taken cold on picnics.

Not for me thanks.

not really, but i bet the dds would eat it without complain.

DD would love it. I would want a sauce of some kind to go with it, something creamy. No peas though.

Add some boursion cheese and its amazing

creamy but not cheese.

Oh and some yoghurt to loosen the cream cheese up a bit

oooh i say no cheese...but boursion and yoghurt sounds nice....

I was going to say it sounded fine.
My gran used to feed me tinned salmon all the time. She thought it was the height of luxury, bless her. It's a comfort food for me now.
Glad it went down well.

I was going to say use rice too, it is very moreish for some reason.
