Tagliatelle met zalm en spinazie: een verrukkelijke Italiaanse maaltijd!

Italian cuisine is known for its simple ingredients and rich flavors. A well-prepared pasta is a great way to enjoy it. Today I will take you to one of my favorite Italian recipes: tagliatelle with salmon and spinach. This creamy and flavorful dish is the perfect combination of soft pasta, salty salmon, and fresh spinach. It is both hearty and refined and guarantees a meal that you will lick your fingers!

Why tagliatelle with salmon and spinach?

The choice of tagliatelle in this recipe is not a random one. The wide ribbons of this pasta perfectly capture the creamy sauce, making every bite an explosion of flavour. The salmon not only adds a salty bite, but also essential omega-3 fatty acids. And the spinach? It provides a touch of freshness and a healthy dose of iron and vitamins.
