Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Drain penne, then return to saucepan. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. Little cooks: Older kids, help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, cut tomato into thin wedges. • Cut corn cobs in half. • Slice cucumber into thin rounds. • Pat salmon dry with paper towel. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add salmon, turning to coat. Little cooks: Help wash the veggies!

Cook the salmon
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan! 

Steam the corn
4

• While the salmon is cooking, transfer corn cob to a large microwave-safe plate. • Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave corn on high, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Drain any excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Top corn with the butter and cover to keep warm.

Bring it all together
5

• To the saucepan with cooked pasta, add basil pesto and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to coat. Season to taste. Little cooks: Help pour in the basil pesto under adult supervision.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide pesto pasta and herby salmon between bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese. Serve with fresh veggies and steamed corn cob. enjoy!
