PINE NUT, SPINACH, BALSAMIC TOMATO & RICOTTA ANGEL HAIR
I like to say that during June, July and August, my family and I are on a spaghetti strike, because it's too hot to cook pasta. That being said, a reader recently wrote to me about her ricotta-based pasta sauce and I immediately thought of a similar dish, which I'm sharing with you today. It was a huge success among my friends and I'm convinced it'll be the same for you. This is the kind of meal I'd eat every day, sitting on my little balcony in the suburbs.

PASTA WITH A ANCHOVY, SPINACH AND PINE NUT SAUCE
This recipe actually originated from a collaboration between my girlfriend (who lives in Italy) and myself one night. She was visiting, and after spending the day at the beach we were starving. Well, other than a few pantry items, a couple of slices of a baguette, 1 fresh tomato and not much else this was the end result. We came up with this amazing angel hair pasta, frozen spinach, pine nuts (yes, I always have them in the freezer), of course some parmesan, and lastly anchovies (yes, I keep those too, I add them to many sauces). Well we made this pasta which was great, grilled the baguette and broiled the tomato slices with nothing more than a little balsamic, olive oil, s/p and fresh basil. Dinner was amazing and so was this pasta. Now this is a light pasta dish, but has so much flavor. I actually like to serve this as a side dish sometimes if you don't want to serve it as a main dish. It is great as a side with grilled fish like, Halibut, Cod, Tilapia or even grilled scallops. I like use a lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper marinade for the seafood to keep it simple which goes well with the pasta. Give it a try, I know you will really enjoy it. I never really liked anchovies until I tried them toasted or sauteed - they get nutty and sweet. This is literally a 20 minute great dish and serves 4 for a pretty good price. As I said, some fresh tomatoes, grilled bread and dinner in a hurry for family or friends.

Steps:
- Spinach -- Just thaw and squeeze dry and set to the side. It will take only a couple of minutes to heat up in the sauce.
- Pasta -- Again, takes just minutes for Angel Hair pasta to cook so make sure you sauce is done or at least started. This dish only takes minutes.
- For the pasta cook according to directions - a large pot of salted water. when done, drain and set to the side to keep warm.
- Sauce -- In a large saute pan, add the oil and and bring to a medium high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast until golden brown. They will only take a minute and stir often. Remove to a paper towel to let them drain. Then add the garlic and shallot and cook two minutes until they start to get golden brown, add the anchovies and cook another minute. Add the spinach breaking it up as you add it to the pan along with the butter and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Pine Nuts -- I take about 1/2 or a little less and break them up a bit. You can just use the back of a fork or you can put them in a baggie and just hit them with the bottom of a pan or bowl to slightly crush them. You just want to break them up a bit.
- Finishing -- Pasta should be done and drained. Simply add the pasta to the sauce pan along with the pine nuts, lemon juice and zest and toss well.
- Garnish with fresh grated parmesan. Literally a 20 minute dish and absolutely delish! And if you think you didn't like anchovies, you will.

Tips:
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes. This will ensure the best flavor in your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the tomatoes, be sure to give them enough room to brown. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of brown.
- Add the spinach at the end of cooking. Spinach cooks very quickly, so you don't want to add it to the pan until the other ingredients are almost done.
- Toast the pine nuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Serve the dish immediately. Angel hair pasta is best when served hot, so be sure to enjoy it right away.
Conclusion:
Angel hair with tomatoes, spinach, and pine nuts is a light and flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and spinach. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
