15 minutes
Pasta with spinach and wild garlic pesto and smoked salmon is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the freshness of greens with the delicate texture of fish. The origins of this recipe are linked to the traditional Italian pesto sauce but with an original interpretation thanks to wild garlic, which adds a spicy aroma. Pine nuts add a gentle nutty note, while Parmesan enriches the umami flavor. The tender smoked salmon harmoniously complements this composition, creating a balanced dish for gourmets. It is suitable for both festive dinners and cozy family lunches, and its rich taste makes it particularly appealing when paired with white dry wines.
