Ingredients

🍝 12 ounces ziti pasta
🐟 1 pound salmon fillet
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧅 1 small onion, finely chopped
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🥫 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🧀 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
🧀 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
🧂 Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
🌿 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley


Instructions

1- Cook the Pasta:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the ziti and cook until just al dente.
  • Drain and set aside.

2- Prepare the Salmon:

  • Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked and flaky.
  • Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

3- Make the Sauce:

  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes and heavy cream, bringing to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4- Assemble the Bake:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti, flaked salmon, and tomato cream sauce.
  • Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.

5- Bake:

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

6- Serve:

  • Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley before serving.
