Creamy pasta alone is a lovely, filling dinner, but flaked salmon, tender, delicious, and healthy, mixed in brings the lovely to luxurious, the wonderful to wonderous, the dinner to divine. And with green leafy spinach and spot of lemon to brighten up the whole thing? Again, luxurious, wonderous, and divine!
