"The recipe was great, didn't use cream just milk as I used two cans of salmon. Also didn't reserve the salmon liquid I had already tossed it until I read the recipe, oops. Used the twisted pasta, boiled as recipe said to do. Even my husband liked it he doesn't usually like salmon so will definately repeat this one as it was so easy."
