Preparation

Step 1

Toast the pine nuts in a large saucepan, then remove
Melt the butter with the olive oil in the pan
Add the shallot, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper
Saute for 2 - 3 minute, being careful to not burn garlic
Stir in the pasta and toast it for 3 - 4 minutes.
Add the wine to the pan, stirring everything.
Cook until the pasta absorbs some of the wine
Ladle in the chicken stock, about 1/2 cup at a time,
stirring as the pasta absorbs the liquid
After you have added 2 1/2 cups stock, test the pasta for doneness, then test again after each 1/2 cup interval. The amount of stock will depend on the type of pasta
Add the shrimp with the final 1/2 cup stock
Cover and steam shrimp for 3 - 4 minutes

Stir in the tomatoes and spinach, then check the pasta for doneness a final time.
Adjust the seasoning, then stir in the pine nuts and cheese
