Ingredients
  

  • 1 gluten-free vegetable stock cube
  • 200g gluten-free pasta (penne or fusilli recommended)
  • 100g green beans, trimmed
  • 100g smoked salmon, roughly chopped
  • 50g baby spinach
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 50g soft cheese (ensure it’s gluten-free)
  • ½-1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Dissolve the vegetable stock cube in the water for extra flavor.
  • Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions (about 8-10 minutes).
  • During the last minute of cooking, toss in the green beans to blanch them together with the pasta.
  • Drain the pasta and beans, reserving ¼ cup of pasta water for the sauce.
  • Return the pasta and beans to the pot. Stir in the smoked salmon, baby spinach, spring onion, and soft cheese.
  • Gradually add the reserved pasta water to loosen the cheese and create a luscious, creamy sauce.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pasta for brightness, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately, sprinkling grated parmesan on top for a salty, nutty finish.
