Instructions
Boil water in large pot for pasta.
Heat oil in large nonstick pan and then add in flour until pasty. Gradually whisk in milk while stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Season with pepper.
Add pasta to boiling water and set timer as directions advise. If pasta is done before the sauce, toss with a bit of olive oil so it doesn't stick.
Whisk in Parmesan cheese and pesto until thoroughly mixed. Heat for a few minutes on low until thickened.
Stir in salmon just before serving and heat through.
Add pasta to salmon mixture and gently toss.
Sprinkle parsley on completed dish.
