Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1
  • Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, grate zucchini.
  • Zest lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges.
Cook the spaghetti
2
  • Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes.
  • Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. 

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the salmon
3
  • While spaghetti is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. 
  • Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate.
Cook the sauce
4
  • Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. 
  • Cook zucchini, tossing, until tender, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add garlic & herb seasoning and the cracked black pepper and cook until fragrant 1 minute.
  • Stir in light cooking cream, lemon zest, stock concentrate, capers and the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. 
Bring it all together
5
  • Remove pan from heat, then add cooked spaghetti, ricotta and baby spinach leaves, tossing to coat. 
  • Flake salmon into bite-sized pieces and toss through spaghetti with a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season generously with salt.  

TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. 

Finish & serve
6
  • Divide herby salmon, zucchini and ricotta spaghetti between bowls. 
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). 
  • Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
