This pasta is so mouth-wateringly yummy and super healthy, too, not bad for a dish that you can prepare in just 20 minutes. With that said, this is also perfect for a last-minute dinner preparation because it’s quick and easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces or 225 grams of fettuccine
- 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 8 white mushrooms
- 7 ounces or 200 grams of fresh bagged spinach
- ½ tsp of sweet smoked Spanish paprika
- ½ tsp of dried thyme
- ½ cup dry of white wine
- ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt
- 2 (6-ounce) cans of salmon
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- A handful of fresh parsley
Directions:
Step 1
Place a large pot on a stove over high heat, then fill it halfway with water, sprinkle some salt, and bring it to a boil. While waiting for it to boil, chop the onion, garlic, and spinach, then slice the mushrooms, and set them all side. Place a large pan on a stove over medium heat, then heat up some olive oil, and saute the onion for about 3 to 4 minutes or until translucent.
Step 2
Add the mushrooms, then continue to mix them together, and cook them for 4 more minutes before adding the chopped garlic. Give them a good toss and cook for 30 seconds, then season them with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper, and mix them until combined. Add the wine, then continue to mix them together, and allow them to simmer for about 3 minutes before adding the chopped spinach.

Step 3
Place the lid of the pan, then turn off the heat, and let the remaining heat wilt the spinach. Check the boiling water on the pot, then add the pasta, and cook them according to the package instructions. Remove the lid of the pan after 3 minutes, then give the spinach a quick mix, and add the Greek yogurt making sure it’s at room temperature.
Step 4
Season them with more salt and pepper, then give them a good mix, and once the pasta is al dente, add them into the pan as well using tongs. Mix them all together until well combined, then add more pasta water if desired, and then add in the drained canned salmon. Gently mix them all together to combine, then serve, and enjoy!
