Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Serve with crusty bread and simple salad if desired, or on its own. I would only use red salmon for this recipe, not pink. Sometimes I will just cook the whole 500 g bag of pasta shells, and add about another 200 mL of cream, to stretch this meal a little further. Brown onion diced can also be used.
