Normally, pasta with salmon is prepared by browning the fish in butter and enriching the sauce with vegetable cream or fresh cream. In this case, we reduced the calories by using only a tablespoon of oil for cooking the salmon and replacing the ricotta with cream.- Drain the pasta al dente and add it to the salmon sauce. Turn off the heat and add the ricotta sauce. Flavor with plenty of parsley and serve immediately.
