Speedy Spaghetti with Croutons and Spinach

Step 1

Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and a pinch of salt then cover and allow to simmer.

Step 2

Place the bread in a food processor and blitz to form fine crumbs. Spread over a tray and mix with the oil, seasoning and nutmeg. Bake in a very hot over for around 2-3 minutes or until golden in colour and fragrant.

Step 3

Once the pasta is cooked through, remove from the heat and strain. Return to the pan with the cream, cheddar, seasoning and thyme. Stir well to mix everything. Add the spinach and stir again, allowing it to wilt just a little bit.

Step 4

Serve immediately with a generous sprinkle of the nutmeg breadcrumbs.
