We're thinking pink today. Salmon pink. Not only is this fish delicious, it's packed to the gills with omega 3 fatty acids which have been shown to have benefits for both brain function and blood pressure. So dinner can be good for the head and the heart - and the taste buds of course. Enjoy!
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Put a large saucepan of water with a good pinch of salt on to boil for the wheat pasta. Cut the broccoli into small florets (like small little trees!). Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Roughly chop the chives. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest the lemon then cut into wedges. Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed then finely chop
Add the wheat spaghetti to your pan of boiling water and cook for 11 mins. Once done, drain in a colander and return to the pan (off the heat). Toss with a little olive oil to stop it sticking together.
Whilst your wheat pasta cooks, put a frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the broccoli, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Add a splash of water and pop a lid on the pan. Cook until tender, 3-4 mins, then remove the lid and continue frying until the broccoli is a little brown and crispy round the edges, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add another drizzle of oil to the now empty pan (no need to wash). Add the shallot and cook until slightly softened, 4 mins. Add the garlic, lemon zest and a pinch of chilli (add less chilli if you don't like heat). Cook for 30 seconds
Add the stock powder to the pan along with the water (see ingredients for amount). Bring to the boil and stir to dissolve the stock powder. Simmer for 2 mins, then stir in the crème fraîche and salmon flakes. Add a good grind of pepper and bring to the boil again. Lower the heat and simmer until the salmon is piping hot, stirring occasionally, 2 mins
Squeeze in half the lemon juice, taste to check for seasoning, then return the broccoli to the pan. Stir gently then take off the heat. Combine with the wheat spaghetti and serve in bowls with the remaining lemon wedges on the side and the chives sprinkled on top. Sprinkle over a little more chilli if you like heat. Enjoy!
