Nah, didnt work out for me. Not a fan of salmon in pasta I guess. 🤷♂️
Delicious! I added some spinach for extra greens. Yum!!!
Sounds great! Spinach is a smart addition. I’ll try that next time.
Yum? I dunno, I think salmon and pesto is a weird combo. Spinach or not, I’m skeptical.
Pasta in the oven? Sounds weird, but I tried it and it’s actually good! I was surprised.
The recipe said 20-25 mins, but mine took 40! What’s up with that?!
That happened to me too! I think my oven runs a bit cooler than it says, so I have to bake everything longer. Maybe check your oven temp with a thermometer?
Too much cream for my liking. It was more like soup than a bake.
I understand where you’re coming from. The cream can be really overwhelming! Maybe try less next time?
Soup? That’s a bit dramatic! I thought it was perfect for a creamy pasta bake. Just add more pasta if you think it’s too much.
So easy to make! Even a caveman could do it! 😂
I used tuna instead of salmon. Is that against the rules? 🤭 It was still good though!
This was so tasty! My family loved it and wanted seconds! Will definitely make again. 😊
I’m so glad to hear that! This recipe is a family favorite for sure. 😊
It was alright, but the salmon overcooked in my oven. Maybe it’s just my oven… 🤔
I had the same problem! My salmon got dry too. Maybe our ovens are just not good 🤷♂️.
