Notes
Pasta comes in so many shapes and sizes that it sometimes gives me stress of choice… But when I think of salmon, I automatically think of tagliatelle… Why? No idea, for me the two go perfectly together. Pasta is always accompanied by a lot of vegetables for me. For this dish it was leek, spinach and onion with an extra touch of oven-cooked cherry tomatoes and garlic. (I love a puffed or cooked garlic). These strong seasonings are accompanied by a sauce of soft coconut and saffron. And if it was tasty!
