Olive, caper and spinach pasta

you need - olives, capers (not usually on my shopping list, but left over from Christmas), olive oil, garlic, spinach, fresh parsley and ham or bacon if you have it.

I chop together the olives, capers and garlic til they are pretty fine, shred the spinach and ham/bacon.
Heat a pan and add a good slug of olive oil, fry everything except the spinach and parsley.
When everything is cooked (ham/bacon is crispy and the smell is divine) turn off the heat and throw in the spinach til it wilts and crisps up a bit.
Mix with cooked pasta, and put the parsley on top.  Add parmesan cheese if you like it.

Anouke and I love this quick and easy dinner.  It feels light so is not a struggle to eat on hot days and it feels like a treat as olives and capers are not usual shopping list staples.
