Scale: ½× – 4× with Plus →
  • 7¾ oz salmon fillet
  • 6⅓ oz fusilli
  • 5 oz spinach
  • 0.4 g black pepper
  • 1.6 g kosher salt
  • 1 oz Parmesan
  • 8½ oz canned crushed tomato
  • 8 g fresh basil
  • 2 g fresh oregano
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1⅛ tbsp olive oil

Steps

  1. Bring 8½ cups water to a rolling boil and salt it with about 8 g salt. Add 6⅓ oz fusilli and cook until tender with a firm center, about 11 minutes. Reserve a mug of the water, then drain.
  2. Season 7¾ oz salmon fillet with a little salt. Cook it in a wide skillet with a spoon of the sauce's oil or butter until just opaque and flaking, about 3 minutes. Target temperature: 50°C / 125°F for moist salmon or 57°C / 135°F to cook it through. Add 5 oz spinach and cook until just tender.
  3. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the skillet and simmer 3 to 5 minutes. Loosen it with a splash of the reserved pasta water if it looks thick.
  4. Toss the drained fusilli with the sauce in the skillet. Fold in 1 oz Parmesan. Add more pasta water a spoon at a time until the sauce clings. Serve immediately.
