Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked gemelli pasta (4 oz)
  • 1 salmon fillet (1 lb), skin removed, salmon cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups refrigerated new potato wedges (from 1-lb 4-oz bag)
  • 1 cup fresh whole green beans or frozen whole green beans
  • 1 cup Parmesan and mozzarella pasta sauce (from 1-lb jar)

    Meanwhile, spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add salmon to skillet; sprinkle with salt. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until salmon flakes easily with fork. Remove salmon from skillet.
  • 3
    Add potatoes, beans, pasta sauce and pepper to same skillet. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Stir in pasta, salmon and basil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until thoroughly heated.

  • Salmon steaks will work just as well as the fillet in this recipe.
  • In Tuscany, combining potatoes and pasta is common. Often this combination is simply seasoned with olive oil, garlic and spices. In this recipe, we've added a cheesy sauce, fresh salmon and basil. The result is delicious!
  • Warm sliced French bread or Italian rolls would be perfect to serve with this dish. Serve chocolate ice-cream sundaes for dessert.
