Wow today we're not in the mood. Maybe we're not in a reliable mood because the last time we ate this creamy dreamy creme fraiche salmon pasta was almost a decade ago. Okay, it was actually last week. But we can’t stop thinking of it – when we sleep we dream of this pasta, when we work – we think of it too. To this day we remember its taste like it was a minute ago.
We need our pastaaaaaa. It’s so warm, comforting with a light flavor of salmon and fresh onions. We just want to live with this creme fraiche salmon pasta until we’re seventy. We don’t think, that it’ll make it to 70, but hey if a McDonald’s burger can survive 20 years, then impossible is nothing, right? Why do good guys like this pasta have to go away from us so soon?
On another note we still can’t believe that guy sings he wants to live with the girl until they’re seventy. And then what? You’re gonna leave her and find some 60 years old piece of ass?? Men.
By the way we looooooove Ed Sheeran. All of his songs. But he should be more optimistic and we're sure they’ll be loving each other until they’re at least 100. That’s how long we intend to love this creme fraiche salmon pasta.
HEALTH BENEFITS
We think the fact that this pasta is made with whole grain fiber-loaded farfalle, omega-3 rich salmon and with broccoli, which is bursting with all those awesome anticancer phytochemicals will be helpful in the process of us becoming a smoking hot 100 years old grandma. We bet one of our toe nails.
This creme fraiche salmon pasta takes less than 20 minutes to make, so it’s solid to prepare on week nights, or whenever you’re in a hurry and want something warming, it’s unbelievably satisfying and is also quite healthy.
