Roasted Salmon with Dandelion Greens & Casarecce Pasta

We love pastas of all shapes and sizes, but casarecce is definitely on the top of our list of favorites these days. Casarecce is topped with tender, flaky roasted salmon and mushrooms add a subtly wild, earthy flavor throughout the dish. If you've never had Dendelion Greens, this is the dish for you! They add delicious texture and color. This dish is topped with a healthy sprinkling of Parmesan for a salty, savory finish.
