Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the pasta, or use a kettle instead.
- Crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
- Slice the onion into half rings and crush or mince the garlic. Slice the portobello.
- Boil the pasta for 10 - 12 minutes until done, then reserve at least 100ml pasta water per person before draining and setting aside.
- Heat a clean deep frying pan over high heat. Fry the portobello until it has reduced and all of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the walnuts and half of the Sicilian-style herbs, then fry for 3 minutes before deglazing with the balsamic vinegar.
- Transfer to a small bowl and set aside until serving.
- Heat the olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic and onion for 3 minutes.
- Add the rest of the Sicilian-style herbs and fry for 1 more minute.
- Add the crème fraîche, the tomato tapenade and half of the pasta water, then mix well to combine.
- Reduce the heat and tear the spinach directly into the pan, in batches if necessary (see Tip).
Tip: if the sauce is too thick, stir in an extra splash of pasta water as necessary to thin it out.
- Transfer the pasta to the sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mix well to combine.
- Serve the pasta on plates, topped with the portobello and the walnuts.
