Convert it

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

EquipmentFork for measuring and testing

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

Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
