Cousin's Gluten Free Salmon Pasta

While in Seattle last month my cousin made a special delicious pasta dish. It's easily modified for multiple tastes. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of it...but it was delicious. What is gluten free pasta about? It's usually white or brown rice based, sometimes corn. Use your favorite or mix this recipe up with fried rice or risotto and add or change any veggies you feel like. 

Cousin's G-Free Salmon Pasta

Sauce:

1/4 c olive oil

2 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 Tbs Red Pepper flakes

1/2 c lemon juice

1/2 pound smoked salmon, peppered

1 red onion, chopped

1 tomato, chopped

1 c mushrooms, chopped

1 c peas

1lb spinach, sauteed

Garnish:

basil

grated parmesan

avocado

1lb pasta of choice

Start by boiling the pasta in salted water, according to package directions. Saute vegetables and start the sauce. To make sauce, add all ingredients from olive oil to red onion in a large bowl and stir well. Add vegetables and pasta, then mix again. Salt and pepper to taste, garnish with basil, cheese, and avocado. Easy! Feeds 6-8.

Again, add to or take away from the vegetables and garnishments in this recipe as desired, but keep the main idea of smoked salmon, veggies, and pasta or rice. The possibilities are endless and lo-cal.
