Preparation

Soak the raisins in brandy.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over a high heat. Add a good pinch of salt. Add the pasta and stir until the water has returned to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook the pasta at a fast simmer for 8 minutes.

Wash silverbeet well. Discard stalks and roughly chop leaves.

Heat a frypan over a medium–high heat and add a splash of oil, the onion and pine nuts. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the pine nuts turn golden brown.

Add the garlic, chilli, orange rind and silverbeet, and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the stock, cover with a lid and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the silverbeet collapses. Check seasoning.

Add the brandy-soaked raisins and toss everything together well. Drain the pasta and toss with the silverbeet mixture.

Toasting spices

Toasting whole spices in a dry pan can help to bring out the essential oils and the flavour in the spice, however be careful to taste as you add the spice to your dish as the flavour will have changed and you may need less. Toasting pre-ground spices is a little trickier and it can ruin the flavour of the spice altogether.
