Olive oil

Steve doesn’t like this much, but what does he know?

Cook the spaghetti as described in Chilli Pasta.

Meanwhile warm some olive oil (about a tablespoon per person) in another large pan. Add garlic and pine nuts and allow to cook a little. Just before the pasta is ready, tip the spinach into the pan with the olive oil etc and stir around a little, allowing the spinach to wilt a bit.

Drain the spaghetti and put back into it’s pan. Add the spinach etc, and mix a little.

You can eat this as a light supper on its own, or use it as an accompaniment to grilled lamb chops – you then don’t need another vegetable.
