2 grilled salmon steaks
1 16-oz pkg spaghetti
1 12-oz container basil pesto
1 C heavy cream
1 C sour cream

1. Remove the skin and bones from the cooked salmon. Gently break into large pieces. Set aside.
2. Bring water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Add some salt to the boiling water, then add the pasta and stir.

5. Add the drained pasta to the salmon mixture along with half of the Parmesan cheese.

7. Serve immediately with the remainder of Parmesan cheese.
