Method
Steps
Step 1
Gather the ingredients: 400 g spaghetti; 60 g shelled walnuts; 60 g fine dry breadcrumbs; 30 g icing sugar; 1 heaped teaspoon warm sweet mixed spice, for example a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove; 3 tablespoons olive oil; Black pepper to taste; A little salt for the pasta water, if desired.
Step 2
Pound the walnuts with the breadcrumbs to make a fine, slightly textured mixture. Stir in the icing sugar and the heaped teaspoon of mixed spice. Do not turn the mixture into a smooth oily nut butter.
Step 3
Cook the spaghetti in boiling water until just tender, following the package time. Lightly salt the water if desired, then drain well.
Step 4
Dress the hot pasta first with the olive oil and pepper. Add the walnut, breadcrumb, sugar and spice mixture generously and toss until it clings to the strands. Serve promptly.
