Salmon and pea pasta

You used to love this for tea when you were tiny (especially when I made it with the little star or alphabet pasta). I made it for the first time in ages yesterday, and you hated the cheese sauce. You can't win...

Makes enough for one toddler:

a small offcut of salmon
a tablespoon of frozen peas
a little butter, milk and flour
nutmeg
a little grated cheese
pasta

Put the salmon in a pan, and cover with milk (you could also add a bay leaf at this point). Poach for 5-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through (how long it takes will depend on how thick it is). Take the fish out of the milk, and then flake (checking carefully for bones).

Add a knob of butter and a little flour and some grated nutmeg to the warm milk, whisking until the lumps have gone. Grate some cheese into the sauce, and stir until it thickens.

Stick the peas and the pasta in boiling water, and simmer until cooked (about 7-8 minutes for pasta twists, a lot less if you're using tiny pasta shapes).

Add the pasta to the cheesy sauce, along with the flaked fish. Grind a little black pepper on top.

Grown ups like this too, especially if you use mature cheddar in the white sauce.
