1 medium onion(yellow) chopped

1/2 cup water
2 tbsp chicken bullion powder(may substitute the water and bullion with chicken broth)
1 tbsp margarine
2 tsp Basil
2 tsp Mrs. Dash original blend
3 cups Rigatoni
Directions:
In large pot, boil the salmon till it flakes apart easily, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain. Rinse. Remove skin and brown under layer.
Separate salmon(some of the salmon may not have finished cooking, but it will when boiling the noodles) return to pot with enough water to cook the rigatoni. Bring water and salmon to a boil and add the noodles. Lower temperature to a simmer. Do not over-cook. Noodles are done when you can slice a fork through one easily.
While the noodles are cooking, In a separate smaller pan, add butter, onions, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup water, chicken bullion, basil, Mrs. Dash, and spinach. Cook on med heat for additional 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally. Set aside. You don't want to cook the vegetables too long because they lose their vitamin nutrients during the process.
Once the noodles are tender, drain. place back in pot add the vegetables mix, and cook for about 2 more minutes.
Total cooking time approx. 25 minutes. Prep time 10 minutes.
