Tips

If you’re short of time just reheat the salmon pasta recipe in the microwave and flash under the grill to brown the top.

Really short of time? Use a can of mushroom or celery soup (Heinz or Campbell’s is good) or a tub of fresh cheese or béchamel sauce (usually found in the chiller department of your supermarket).
