Shrimp and Salmon Pasta
Pasta is easily transformed from plain tomato sauce to something more elegant by adding a few ingredients. You can add leftover chicken or stir fry to jazz up the sauce!

Browning the mushrooms would bring out the nice earthy flavour. Set the mushrooms to one side while you brown…
