Creamy Seaside Pasta Recipe with Fresh Vegetables

Ingredients

• 8 ounces bow tie pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 (6 ounce) fillets fresh salmon
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook bow tie pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add olive oil to the hot pan; season the salmon fillets generously with salt. Add the salmon to the pan; cook until nicely browned, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
3. Add the broccoli florets, grape tomatoes, vegetable broth, and minced garlic to the pan; break the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces as it simmers, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Stir in the cooked pasta, crumbled feta cheese, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of red pepper flakes; toss gently to combine all ingredients.
