Cooking Instructions

• Start water to boil pasta in. Add all the pesto ingredients to a food processor and blitz until blended well and the walnuts are broken down. Feel free to add more olive oil if you'd like to thin it out or if the pesto is not blending. Set aside.
• Preheat to 375º. On a parchment lined baking sheet, add the salmon and top with pesto, about 1-1.5 tablespoon on each salmon. The rest will be for the pasta. Bake Salmon for 12-15 minutes.
• While pasta is boiling, be sure to collect 1.5 cups of pasta water before draining!
• Once the pasta is al dente, grab pasta water, drain and put back into the pot. Add in the pesto and 1 half cup of pasta water at a time until pesto is evenly spread, it may not need all the water so add in increments. Plate the pasta and add the salmon on top. Sprinkle with extra parmesan if desired and enjoy.
• If you are using chicken breast, start with browning the chicken in an oven safe skillet. Season it with salt and pepper, brown for about 6 minutes on each side. Brush the chicken with pesto and then bake on 350º for about 12-14 minutes or until it reaches 165º internally.
