Leslies Random Acts of Kindness Casserole Recipe

  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen petite peas
  • 1 (16 ounce) package fusilli pasta
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages smoked wild salmon, pulled into small pieces
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place peas in a large colander in the sink.
  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until chewy and still firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain fusilli over peas.
  4. Return fusilli and peas to the pot. Add heavy cream and smoked salmon; mix well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour into a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  5. Combine bread crumbs, olive oil, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl; mix lightly with a fork. Scatter topping over casserole.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
