Cooking Steps

Cook penne
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). 
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 13-15 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water.
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep
2
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
Cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender. 
  • Transfer veggies to a plate.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Make sauce
4
  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, garlic, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the Cajun Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  • Add reserved pasta water, 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) milk and cream cheese. Whisk to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low. Add veggies and continue to simmer for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens.
Cook salmon
5
  • Meanwhile, pat salmon dry with paper towels. 
  • On an unlined baking sheet, drizzle salmon with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and season with remaining Cajun Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
  • Broil in the top of the oven for 6-8 min, until salmon is cooked through.**
Finish and serve
6
  • To the pot with penne, add sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice and half the parsley. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta between bowls.
  • Top bowls with salmon. 
  • Sprinkle Parmesan and remaining parsley over top.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
