Delicate flavor and creamy texture- that's what makes this goat cheese salmon pasta so good!
Easy family dinner in less then 30 minutes- that's the best part about quick pasta dishes. Salmon(wild caught) is a great source of Omega 3 fats and a great addition to pasta, also makes a great combination with goat cheese!
Goat cheese is creamy, flavorful and very affordable (talking about Costco), we love it and i am trying to incorporate it in our menu few times a week.

I just bought a huge fillet of salmon from Costco and was looking for new ways to prepare it.
I used to make a pasta using goat cheese all of the time. It's so good!
The Mr. and I are big wild caught salmon fans and eat it at least once a week. This is such a beautiful dish that utilizes this wonderful fish. Love that you used goat cheese to make the sauce as it is one of my favorite everyday cheese.
I would for sure eat this. All sorts of flavors going on here.
I can imagine how delicious the pasta tastes. We love salmon and with a creamy goat cheese sauce, it must be out of this world. A wonderful dinner and a great idea for company too.
I love that this serves two people! It's just my husband and I and I have everything to make this
This is a pasta dish that is full of flavour. I love salmon, goat cheese...and of course pasta. Perfect weeknight dinner....and company worthy too.
This pasta looks SO comforting! Love the idea of burning the tomatoes in a dry skillet first - I'm such a tomato fan and that sounds amazing!
I LOVE adding salmon to pasta and pairing it with creamy sauces. What a good idea to use goat cheese here. I bet its great!
very creative and love the ingredients you used. this is a MUST try at home recipe. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
