Leslie’s Random Acts of Kindness Casserole

Ingredients

• 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 lemon, zested and juiced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place peas in a large colander in the sink.

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.

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.

Combine bread crumbs, olive oil, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl; mix lightly with a fork. Scatter topping over casserole.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
