Level 6: Soft & Bite-Sized | 30 min | Serves 2

## Family version

- Salmon pasta
- Spinach
- Lemon
- Parmesan

## Level 6 ingredients

- 160 g salmon, gently poached
- 180 g small pasta, cooked very soft
- 220 ml thick smooth cream sauce
- Finely grated parmesan

## Method

1. Check the poached salmon carefully for skin and bones, then divide it into pieces no larger than 1.5 cm.
2. Cook the pasta past al dente and cut any larger shapes to no more than 1.5 cm.
3. Fold salmon and pasta through thick cream sauce so every bite stays moist and cohesive. Leave spinach and lemon peel out.
4. Fork-pressure test the pasta and the thickest salmon piece before serving.

## Equipment

Fork for measuring and testing

## Practical tip

Keep the sauce thick enough to cling to the food, with no thin liquid separating in the bottom of the bowl.

## Before serving

Run the appropriate IDDSI fork and spoon tests on the finished serving. Recipes guide the preparation; only testing confirms how the serving behaves.

## Safety

Use only the food and drink levels prescribed by the person's qualified clinician. Test the actual serving before it is eaten or drunk.
