Simple Summer Spaghetti

A simple summer spaghetti, that is easy to make, and very tasty. The entire meal will only take you about 20 minutes to cook.

Ingredients:
1 clove of garlic (kept whole)
a splash of olive oil (plus a bit extra)
1 piece of pita bread, cut or torn into 2cm squares
2 punnets of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
a handful of spinach leaves (optional)
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tsp salt
1tbsp sumac (this is a middle eastern spice, you can get it from your local deli)
1 packet of spaghetti or angel hair pasta
*As always, if you are cooking for adults, feel free to add a little more salt, and some freshly ground pepper

Method:
Place a large pot of water on the boil, meanwhile, in a large frypan or wok, heat up some oil and add the garlic clove (whole), pita bread, pine nuts, and roughly half of the salt and sumac.

When the water is ready, add the pasta, and cook until al dente.

Continue frying for about 2 minutes until the bread becomes crispy and golden brown, then add the tomatoes and spinach leaves, and continue frying until they are cooked.

Turn off, remove the garlic clove, and set aside until the pasta is ready.

Drain pasta, and add your bread/tomato mixture, the rest of the salt and sumac, and some extra olive oil, toss to combine and serve!
