Salmon Pasta Bake

A creamy and comforting baked pasta dish made with flaky salmon, tender farfalle pasta, roasted cherry tomatoes, and a rich parmesan cream sauce baked until golden and bubbling.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces farfalle pasta
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a large baking dish.
  2. Cook the farfalle pasta until slightly under al dente, then drain.
  3. In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, garlic, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the cooked pasta, salmon chunks, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and gently mix.
  5. Transfer everything to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Top with shredded mozzarella and extra parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  8. Let the pasta bake rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cook the pasta slightly under al dente so it finishes perfectly in the oven.
  • Freshly grated parmesan melts more smoothly and gives better flavor.
  • Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the top for 2 minutes before serving.
