Creamy pasta ribbons with oven poached salmon

Creamy pasta ribbons with oven poached salmon

I’m definitely a pasta lover and I like to try different pasta shapes.

You wouldn’t think that the shape of dried pasta can affect a dish, but these lovely ribbons were a perfect accompaniment to this dish and the sauce clung to the ribbons beautifully!

I do occasionally like a creamy sauce but this version is light and lean.

Tick, tick, tick!


This is one of the many recipes I created when I followed the 90 Day Plan by The Body Coach. Simply use your plans ingredient amounts instead of those shown in the recipe. There are 220 Create Your Own (CYO) friendly recipes in my app and on this website.

Recipe Notes

  • For anyone following older BC plans, salmon has been used in place of chicken breast.
  • For this recipe, the dried pasta variety I used was pappardelle.
  • I prefer to use low salt stock cubes.
