Ingredients

 

• 300 grams Fresh Saffron Pasta (Angel Hair, Spaghetti or Linguine)

 Spiced butter

• 1 cup butter
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

 Topping

• 2/3 cup pine nuts, toasted and roughly chopped

 Method

 

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil - add a handful of salt once it boils.
• Place the butter and oil in a frying pan and cook the shallots gently for about 10 minutes, or until they soften and the butter turns slightly brown.
• Add all the spices, the salt and some pepper. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
