The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and versatility. Whole wheat pasta provides a healthy base for the dish, while tinned salmon adds protein without the work. Furthermore, brussels sprouts and peas are present for texture, color, and added nutritional value. All are brought together with a light sauce made with lemon, parmesan, and pasta water which has a magical way of forming light yet flavorful sauces that really cling to the pasta.
