Spaghetti in creamy sauce with salmon and arugula is a refined dish of Italian cuisine, where the tenderness of cream combines with aromatic salmon and the spiciness of arugula. Its origin is linked to the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean region, where fish and pasta have always held a special place. The creamy sauce enriched with thyme and garlic gives the spaghetti a velvety texture, while the lightly crusted salmon reveals its rich flavor. Arugula and sautéed tomatoes add freshness and a hint of spice to the composition. The dish is served in an elegant 'nest' where salmon is the star. It’s an ideal choice for a romantic dinner or formal reception that can impress and provide true gastronomic pleasure.
