  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 box of spinach spaghetti pasta
  • 3 cups of arugula

  • Finely grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Set large pan to boil with water and generous pinch of kosher salt to cook pasta.

  • Add arugula to bowl, squeeze a little less than 1/2 lemon and 2 tablespoons of good olive oil over arugula add a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • When water is boiling add pasta to cook.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat add butter and melt, add garlic and simmer till translucent, about 1 minute. Add salmon and allow to cook 5-7 minutes. Add wine, red pepper, parsley and squeeze 1/2 lemon to pan. Cover and cook an additional 5-7 minutes, or until salmon is cooked to your liking. Carefully remove salmon to cutting board. Lower temperature of pan to low.
  • When pasta is cooked al dente using tongs transfer pasta directly from boiling water to pan with wine, toss to coat evenly.
  • In each bowl place a serving of pasta, twist noodles as you lay in bowl to make a nest. Cut salmon into individual fillets and place on top of pasta, drizzle a dab of truffle oil on top. Grab a bunch of arugula and lay on top of salmon. Sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan Cheese. Bon appetite!
