Creamy Alaska Salmon Pasta Recipe

ingredients

12 ounces cavatelli or other medium sized shell-shaped pasta
2 cups 1% lowfat milk
1 package creamy herbed seafood sauce or lemon dill sauce mix
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 can (4 ounce size) sliced mushrooms, optional
1 can (14.75 ounce size) Alaska salmon, drained and flaked
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

directions

In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions, then drain.

In small bowl, whisk together milk and the sauce packet. Set aside.

In a large sauce pan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.

Pour in milk mixture and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add pasta, salmon and lemon juice, stirring and tossing until pasta is well coated and heated through, about 1 minute.
