Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, Spring Onions & Smoked Salmon (serves 3)


This is a lovely Monday evening supper. Salmon is an oily fish which means that it’s rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (it’s recommended that you eat one portion of oily fish a week). It is beneficial to health as it provides a protective measure against heart disease. Mixed with the pasta, tomatoes, spring onions and served with rocket and watercress it provides the perfect meal.

You will need:

- 100g cherry tomatoes
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Handful of parsley
- Teaspoon of dill
- 3 spring onions (chopped)
- 100g smoked salmon (chopped)
- 200g pasta
- Rocket and watercress to serve.

Pre-heat an oven to gas mark 6, 400f, 200c. Put the cherry tomatoes in an oven-proof dish, drizzle with the olive oil and roast for approx. 20 minutes, remove from the oven once they’re sizzling and split open. Meanwhile, add the pasta to a large pan of boiling water and cook until al dente, then drain. Add the spring onions, parsley, dill and roasted cherry tomatoes together in a food processor and blend together, once blended pour over the cooked pasta and stir well. Finally, add the chopped smoked salmon and serve with rocket and watercress.
