We put the pot of salted water on the stove and once it boils we add the pasta.

Clean and dice the courgettes.

Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan and brown the finely chopped shallot and sliced ​​ginger.

Add the diced courgettes, salt and pepper.

Finally, add the chopped salmon and mix everything well.

Take a ladle of pasta cooking water and dissolve the saffron.

Drain the pasta al dente (keeping some of the cooking water aside in case it dries out) and add it to the pan with the sauce.

Add the spreadable cheese along with the ladle of water flavored with saffron.

We mix everything together, leaving the dressing nice and creamy.

A sprinkling of black pepper and our first course is ready to be brought to the table.
