Method

1. Boil the pasta... add a little oil and salt to the cooking water.
2. In a pan or pot on the stove, heat the oil and sauté the garlic until softened, then add the basil and spinach and stir until the greens wilt.
3. When the spinach wilts, add the cooking cream and the salmon and sprinkle with pepper, paprika, salt, and garlic powder... and leave them until they come to a boil.
4. When they come to a boil, add the cooked, drained pasta on top... and after they boil again, leave them for only five minutes over low heat.
5. Pour the pasta with salmon and cream into a serving dish, sprinkle cheese on top, and serve.
