Salmon – Bacon – Pasta

Written by Published on Updated on November 3, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hi everyone, the sun is finally out, and we are able to sit in the garden.  Since it is that time of  year again to start planting new flowers, I had the chance this morning to look at the garden and see what it is I want to plant.   I do love gardening, plus I love growing my own vegetables, so, I have decided to invest in a small elevated off-ground garden,  to plant the seeds for my vegetables. 🙂  

Due to a heavy snow storm we had in the Netherlands about 3 years ago, the previous one I had broke into pieces, and I never purchased another one since.  That is why I am very excited about this, and can’t wait to get started.

Walking back into the kitchen from the garden, I knew I wanted to make a dish with pasta.  I have made this dish many times before, very simple,  it is basically a throw it all together bake and eat dish. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    This is a very interesting recipe, I've never had bacon and salmon in one dish but I can see how they would actually work together quite well, and baking the pasta with the sauce is such a good idea! Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare:)
