Pink and Red Pasta

When we first got married I did most of the cooking, but one day I did come home to a surprise...Ryan making a pasta dish for dinner!!  This dish has become one that we make about once a month as we thoroughly enjoy it. We do not usually make certain meals over and over, but this is an exception.  Now you can always find us both in the kitchen, but every time we make this pasta, it reminds me of the first time Ryan cooked for me:)  With Valentines Day around the corner I thought it was a good time to share it with yall.

Directions:
Boil noodles.  We use these, but use the noodles of your choice...

 

Now make your pesto.  You can buy store bought, but we like to make our own for this dish.

Just put it all in a food processor and pulse until it is the consistancy you like.
Now cook the salmon in a pan as whole fillets with a little olive oil, then break up or shred to brown and complete cooking until it looks like this...

 

Rinse and cut the cherry tomatoes in 1/2 or in quarters.

Drain your noddles and add to the pan with salmon.  Then add the pesto and tomatoes.  Toss to combine.

Serve with some Parmesan cheese on top.

We call it pink and red pasta because of the salmon and tomatoes, but call it whatever you want.  It is easy to make and looks impressive.
