spaghetti with spinach, garlic and fresh grape tomatoes

I realised tonight while cooking that it really has been a long time since I actually made myself a meal. Cheese on toast, or miso soup to cure my bout of fever doesn't count. I started to cook...wow, a couple of weeks ago, but got scuppered half way through my risotto by a last-minute dinner invite from a neighbouring Rural Studio-er. I still made my risotto as a side dish and brought it along, but somehow that's not the same a sitting down to a meal that you planned out from start to finish. So tonight's simple spaghetti somehow felt good, especially accompanied by a bottle of Volpaia Chianti that I had saved from a previous Atlanta trip for just such a moment...
