Creamy one-pot salmon pasta

Ingredients (2 portions)

• 150 g pasta or spaghetti
• One large tin (~200 g) of salmon (or fish of your choosing)
• 2 handfuls of kale
• 1 tbsp capers
• 2 tbsp olives
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• Black pepper

Method

• Boil the kettle. Cover the pasta in a saucepan with a few inches of boiling water and cook according to package instructions.
• When the pasta has 2-3 minutes left to cook, add a couple of handfuls of kale to the saucepan, and mix in with the pasta and water to ensure it cooks.
• Place a measuring jug in the sink. When the pasta and kale are cooked, drain with a colander into the sink over the measuring jug, so some of the pasta water is collected.
• Turn the heat on the hob to low. Add the pasta and kale back to the saucepan, along with 2 tbsp cream cheese, 1 tbsp capers with some brine, 2 tbsp olives, 1 (drained) tin of fish, and 1 tsp dijon mustard, and return to the heat.
• Stir to combine all ingredients, and add some of the pasta water as needed to help the cream cheese distribute evenly.
• Serve topped with black pepper.
