Salmon & Broccoli Tagliatelle

A classic combination. “More, more, more!” 
We had it again last night and Max couldn’t get enough of it.

Portions: 2 adults + 2 children
Cooking time: 15 - 25 mins depending on pasta

What's in it: A good source of Omega 3 fats, Vitamin D as well as calcium.

Preparation: Cook pasta according to pack instructions and add broccoli florets for the last 4 minutes of cooking time, drain together. In a wok or large frying pan, gently fry the leeks with a bit of olive oil until soft but not brown. Add crème fraȋche, cream cheese, ½ cup of water. Season with salt, pepper, lemon zest and veg stock and bring to the boil. Add salmon cubes and simmer gently for about 5 mins. Add parsley, followed by cooked pasta and broccoli. Mix together carefully and serve as soon as possible.

Toddler version: For little Max, I usually separate pasta, broccoli and salmon on the plate and cut the pasta. It makes it much easier for him to eat with a folk.
