Steps:
- Put the pasta on first - place a large pan of water on to boil.
- When the water comes to the boil, add the pasta and simmer for 12-13 minutes, until cooked.
- Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Season the salmon fillets with the 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper. Place in the pan skin-side-up.
- Fry the salmon for 3 minutes, until golden, then turn the salmon over and move it to one side of the pan.
- Add the onions to the space left in the pan. Cook on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
- Add in the passata, the 1 tbsp of tomato puree, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and the 1 tsp of sugar. Stir together and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- By now the pasta should be nearly ready. Add the spiralized courgette (zucchini) to the pan with the pasta for the last 30 seconds of cooking. Then drain the pasta in a colander, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
- Turn the salmon over in the frying pan. Remove the skin using a set of tongs and discard.
- Break up the salmon using the back of a fork into chunky pieces. Stir the 3 tbsp of cream into the sauce.
- Add the cooked spaghetti and spiralized courgette to the pan along with a good splash (about 1/4 cup) of the pasta cooking water.
- Use a set of tongs to toss the spaghetti in the sauce, distributing the pieces of salmon amongst the pasta.
- Add more of the pasta cooking water if you want to loosen up the sauce further (optional).
- Divide the pasta between bowls and top with a little grated parmesan, black pepper and a sprinkling of fresh basil leaves.

PASTA WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
The sauce for this pantry pasta is a vegetarian take on arrabbiata and amatriciana sauces, two spicy tomato sauces from Southern Italy that include pancetta or guanciale. The authentic versions would call for grated Pecorino Romano cheese, but I've already broken with tradition here, so use either Pecorino of Parmesan.

Steps:
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta.
- Pulse the chopped tomatoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or pass through the medium blade of a food mill with their juice before you begin. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, wide nonstick skillet or saucepan and add the garlic and crumbled chili (or flakes). Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until the garlic is translucent and begins to smell fragrant, and add the tomatoes and their juice, salt, and oregano if using. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
- When the pasta water comes to a boil, add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook the pasta al dente, following the timing instructions on the package but checking a minute or two before the time on the package. When the pasta is done, transfer to the pan with the sauce, add the basil if using, and toss together over medium heat until it is well coated with the sauce. Add half the cheese, toss together and serve, passing the remaining cheese at the table.
