5 cups (1.25 L) farfalle pasta (1 lb/500 g)
1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
2 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-2/3 cups (400 mL) milk
2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch
1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas
1/2 cup (125 mL) light_cream_cheese, cubed
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) dijon mustard
1 tsp (5 mL) dried dillweed
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
1 can (7.5 oz/213 g) salmon, drained and broken into chunks
Preparation:
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cooking liquid, drain and return pasta to pot.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onions and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add milk; heat until steaming. Whisk cornstarch with 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; stir into milk mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add peas, cheese, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, dillweed, salt and pepper; stir until cheese is melted. Add to pasta and toss to coat, adding reserved cooking liquid if desired. Gently stir in salmon.
