Method

Cook the pasta to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml pasta water.
Add the basil stalks, peas and the reserved pasta water to a large sauté or frying pan and cook for 2-3 mins until the peas are cooked and the liquid is simmering.
Stir in the pasta, break up the salmon and add that too. Remove from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche and most of the cheese; mix well. Season to taste, then scatter with the basil leaves and remaining cheese to serve.

Clever swap: For a thicker sauce, swap the crème fraîche and grated cheese for 50g garlic & herb soft cheese, or use a little less pasta water.
