Molisana spaghetti, abundance of guanciale and black pepper, 4 (small) yolks and a pile of Pecorino Romano.

A little charcuterie last night with some mozzarella and rosemary infused Asiago and a bunch of Italian meats.

First time making spinach noodles at home, so I paired them with beef meatballs and a meaty sauce. Any tips to make this look or taste even better?

I wish the cheese slices melted more but there was cheese mixed in the filling and the dipping sauce was a beer cheese. Other than that super yummy

Ingredients List
For the Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (thick cuts work best)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Spinach Filling:
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
3oz shredded mozzarella
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes(optional for heat)

If you love extra flavor, you can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or some crumbled feta to the filling.
Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees,If you’re using an oven-safe skillet, you can cook everything in one pan. Otherwise, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Spinach Filling
In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan, chopped spinach, mozzarella,minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be smooth and spreadable.
Step 3: Prepare the Salmon Fillets
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in the center of each fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will hold the filling.
Season the salmon with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Step 4: Stuff the Salmon
Using a spoon, carefully fill each salmon pocket with the spinach and cream cheese mixture. Gently press the filling inside so it stays in place.

Step 5:Bake the Salmon
Transfer the salmon to the preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
