Some of the best recipes are the ones we create out of desperation!
This was amazing, and we never would have thought of it except that we were running low of supplies in the fridge and the pantry and had to use what was available.
First we started with a box of red lentil spaghetti which was in the back of the pantry.
But there were no tomatoes, tomato paste, or tomato sauce to be found? What could we use for the base for the spaghetti sauce? Well there at the bottom of the cupboard was a can of Coconut Cream. Hmmmmm.
So what goes with that? The only protein we had was a small piece of frozen Atlantic wild caught salmon…. That could go with coconut cream, right?
Okay… to “beef” things up, let’s see what veggies might work… An onion, some scallions, and zucchini.
Spaghetti with Coconut Salmon Sauce!
Ingredients:
- 1 half package of red lentil spaghetti
- 1 medium onion chopped

- 3 tablespoons Galilee Green Olive Oil – GGOO (for stir frying)

Fun trivia…Did you know that scallions are “onions from Ashkelon”? 😀 According to the dictionary! Late Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French scaloun, based on Latin Ascalonia (caepa) ‘(onion) of Ascalon’, a port in ancient Palestine.
