Devilish Angel Hair

You don’t have to make a pact with the devil to enjoy pasta on Halloween. Tonight I kept things simple by boiling angel hair pasta and adding a handful of flavorful ingredients.

Toss baby spinach in with the boiling pasta, just before draining and reserve some liquid in the pot. Add 1/3 to half a cube of butter, a quick pour of olive oil, a handful of chopped pecans, plus salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to taste. Trick or treat?
