Lemony Salmon Campanelle Pasta with Capers and Marinated Artichokes!!!!

Campanelle pasta is my new favorite kind of pasta to use, I am usually a bowtie or rotini kind of Gal, but these are so pretty and curly.  The curl and the scalloped edge really help grab hold of the sauce you toss it in too. They look flowers or bells.  Yes, I now have wedding bells on the brain.  Barilla is the only brand I know of that I have found.  This can be served cold as a pasta salad or hot.  Tonight I served it hot.


1 lb.  chopped cooked salmon meat (I used Walmart brand wild salmon fillets)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 box cooked pasta
1 large jar of half drained marinated artichoke hearts
1 bunch of fresh parsley or basil chopped
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tsp fresh chopped garlic
1 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning
2 tblsp olive oil
1 tblsp capers

Toss Together!  Voila! Pretty simple, delicious, and cheap (well.... cheap except the marinated artichokes, a few dollars).

  1. As a student on a budget, I enjoy cooking, but I try to cut corners when possible. However, I know that some things just can't be messed with. How do you think this would work with canned salmon, bottled lemon juice and dried herbs?

  2. I love your comments K! I personally have a weird aversion to canned salmon. Picking out the bones get to me, yet I can de bone a fresh fish and am fine... go figure! I'm sure canned salmon would be fine! I am not a fan of bottled lemon juice unless it gets cooked into a dish. If you can use one fresh lemon I say try to because it will taste so much lighter and cleaner. Dried herbs are perfectly fine! Just add to taste. This dish could work with parsley, basil, or dill! I have used all three in the past!
