This pasta with salmon cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a cozy weekend dinner. The creamy sauce is packed with flavor from the butter, flour, milk, and Parmesan cheese, and it's perfectly complemented by the flakiness of the salmon and the tenderness of the peas. This recipe is a great way to incorporate more seafood into your diet, as salmon is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats. It's also a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste preferences and dietary needs. You can add more or less pepper to adjust the spice level, and you can even experiment with different types of pasta shapes to find your favorite combination. This recipe is sure to become a staple in your meal rotation, as it's not only delicious but also nutritious and satisfying.

The best part about this recipe is that it's a one-pot meal, making cleanup a breeze. Simply cook the pasta according to the package instructions, and then create the creamy sauce in the same pot. The sauce comes together quickly, so it's important to have all your ingredients ready before you start cooking. You can even prepare the sauce ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve. This dish is best served immediately, as the sauce will thicken as it stands. However, you can always add a splash of milk or water to thin it out if needed.
