Step 1

Cook penne pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon chunks, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Step 4

Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Add Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 5

Toss the cooked penne pasta into the sauce, ensuring it's evenly coated. If needed, adjust the consistency with reserved pasta water.

Step 6

Gently add the seared salmon chunks back into the skillet. Let everything warm through for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
