Salmon Bowtie Pasta

by

This recipe features salmon and spring vegetables and flavors that all compliment each other. This light alternative to heavy pasta is perfect for the warming weather!

My family and I used to take big shopping trips to Houston once a year and we would eat at the same restaurant every time. This was my absolute favorite dish to get and when they took it off the menu I was devastated! I decided to try and recreate it and make a healthier version to share with you! It tastes the exact same!!! I hope you all enjoy as much as did for many years!
