Meal Prep Guide
This recipe is super simple and doesn’t require any meal prep.
Tips
- We always like to reserve some water when cooking pasta. The salty, starchy water adds flavour and helps glue the pasta and sauce together.
- Use the time whilst the pasta is cooking to prepare all of the ingredients for the sauce so you can quickly add everything and don’t have to pause between steps.
Shortcuts
Vegetables
- For some extra veggies, you can add some shaved zucchini, kale, or cherry tomatoes.
- Swap out the parsley for basil.
Protein
- For a vegetarian option leave out the salmon and add a finely diced shallot and 2 Tbsp of chopped capers when you add the olive oil, butter, garlic and chilli and cook for a few minutes until softened. Then add one tin of cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), then follow the rest of the recipe.
Other
- Swap out the pasta for gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles.
Ingredients
- 300g spaghetti
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- 1 red chilli (finely diced)
- ¼ cup Italian parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)

Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook the pasta as per the packet instructions (remember to reserve ½ cup of the cooking water), drain and set aside while you make a start on the sauce.
- In the same pot over low heat, add the oil, butter, garlic and chilli; cook for a minute or so before adding the pasta back into the pot.
- Add the lemon zest and juice, rocket, parsley, peas and parmesan; toss to combine.
- Add some of the reserved pasta water (anywhere from ¼ cup to ½ cup) until a silky sauce forms.
- Flake the salmon through the pasta and gently combine, season with salt and pepper and serve topped with some extra parmesan.
