Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions in salted water. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots, tomatoes, thyme, a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper and the chili flakes. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring often, until shallots are nicely browned and tomatoes are soft.
- While the shallots are cooking, use a vegetable spiralizer to make your zucchini into zoodles.
- Add garlic, lemon juice and zoodles to the tomato mixture, and cook for a few minutes more. Continue to stir frequently.
- Add capers (and brine), spinach, pasta and salmon. Break salmon apart with a fork and include 1 Tbsp of the canning liquid. Use tongs to combine sauce and pasta. Cook until the spinach is wilted and pasta is hot.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with cheese.
