Cooking Instructions
- Finely slice the peppers. Dice the courgettes into 1cm cubes. Heat a large frying pan with 4 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the courgettes, peppers and garlic. Season with sea salt and cook for 6-8 mins, until softening.
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Roughly chop the dill. Halve the tomatoes. Add the romesco sauce and tomatoes to the vegetable pan. Simmer for 2 mins, until the tomatoes have softened.
- Remove the skin from the salmon and flake into large chunks. Stir the cooked pasta and half the dill into the romesco sauce. Season to taste with sea salt, then gently mix in the salmon. Simmer until steaming hot and heated through.
- Serve the pasta in bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds and remaining dill (to taste).
