Spring Fling Pasta with Sweet Bourbon Salmon
This dish is a play on a classic Aglio E Olio. We dubbed it spring fling pasta as one of the key ingredients is fresh green peas which are at their best in spring. With spring peas commonly preserved by freezing this spring dish is one that can be enjoyed all year round.
