Cooking Steps

Get Roasting
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Place the garlic baguettes onto one side of a lined baking tray.
  • Lay the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the other side of the tray. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.
Pasta Time
2
  • Meanwhile, add the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry) to a saucepan.
  • Heat on high and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat.
  • Stir in the fresh tagliatelle. Simmer, 5-6 mins.
  • Next, stir in the pesto, spinach and half the cheese, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Dinner's Ready!
3
  • Stir a knob of butter (if you'd like) into the pasta.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.
  • Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the salmon. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. 
  • Slice and serve the garlic bread alongside.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The pesto tagliatelle is widely enjoyed, though some find the sauce too rich and creamy; adding lemon juice and zest or extra pesto can lift the flavour noticeably.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with clear step-by-step instructions that work well even for less confident cooks.
  • Suggestions: Season the salmon with Italian herbs, garlic powder, or a spread of pesto before roasting for more flavour; also consider adding extra water gradually if the pasta sauce thickens too much.
  • Next-day meals: Portions are generous, and some found it worked well to serve the pasta and garlic bread as one meal and the salmon separately another time.
  • Vegetables: Steaming or boiling the broccoli rather than oven-roasting gives a better result; adding extra spinach, mushrooms, or asparagus is an easy way to boost the vegetable content.
  • Garlic bread: Spreading the garlic butter more thoroughly through the bread, not just on top, helps avoid a dry result; some preferred to skip it altogether given the pasta already provides plenty of carbohydrate.
