Why trust us?

An easy cream cheese & lemon sauce feature in this healthy smoked salmon pasta recipe. I like to use high protein lentil spaghetti here but if you have our protein pasta, feel free to use that instead. To bring some freshness, I’ve sprinkled in some chopped parsley but other green herbs like basil or dill will work amazingly well, too.
