Hi i tried this last night and i loved it, i also made a chicken version for my daughter (as she doesn’t like salmon) and it was just as nice, I’m in love with your creamy pasta sauce, it nicer than any pasta sauce i’ve ever had. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes <3 xx
Can I just ask how it is 1HEB, as there’s mozzarella and parmeasan? Sorry if it’s a silly question! Sounds delicious, can’t wait to make it!
Hi Alison, the entire recipe serves 2 people, so 2 HEa’s for the whole recipe, but divided in half, that makes 1 HEa per serving. 🙂
Can this be frozen please ?
Hi Jane – pasta bake is always best eaten when cooked, but it’s fine for freezing.

Hi do you leave the skin on the salmon please
Hi Sue, the salmon fillets I used had no skin, so I would remove.
All your recipes sound great – is there an easy way to download and/or print just the ingredients and instructions? Thanks
each recipe has a print function of the recipe box – just make sure you are not trying to print through facebook as it won’t work.
