Smoked Salmon and Green Bean Pasta

Yesterday we got our new cooker yay... time for nicer food at dinner :) I had saved the salmon for my mum and dad coming over but they'd already had a full cooked breakfast ( dad did) typical. So I decided to make a nice meal for Jace and I's dinner. Mum brought us a forest for the house ... well a parsley, chilli, cactus and what I call a butterfly plant. We will have green fingers in no time!

This was a nice with a hint of heat and zing from the chillis and lemon. I had cooked far too much so was able to cool the rest down and keep for lunch tomorrow.

Ease: (8/10)

Taste: (8/10)

Look: (6/10)

Overall: (22/30)

 

This was a fairly simple meal and packed a punch in the flavour department - extremely good if you like strong flavours, if you don't I would half the chillis, garlic and lemon.
