Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
2.Rub salmon fillet with 2 tablespoons of prepared pesto, place on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
3.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to a large bowl.
4.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add baby spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in artichoke hearts and white wine; increase heat to high and bring to a simmer.
5.Reduce heat to medium-low and stir 2 tablespoons of prepared pesto into spinach-artichoke mixture. Remove from heat.
6.Flake baked salmon and stir into pasta in the large bowl. Pour spinach-artichoke mixture over pasta and salmon; toss to coat evenly. Season with black pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over pasta and toss once more.
