Salmon Pasta with Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound penne pasta
• 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed and cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
