Place the tagliatelle with the oil, in a large bowl. Cover with boiling, salted water. Cover the dish and cook on 100% (FULL) power for 3 min. Stir, then reduce to 30% (MEDIUM LOW) power for 7-8 min until pasta is 'al dente' when tasted.

Arrange layers of the tagliatelle, spinach and finely grated Cheddar cheese in a serving dish. Cover and heat through on 100% (FULL) power for 5-6 min. Scatter over the breadcrumbs. Dot with the remaining butter. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
Cook uncovered on 100% (FULL) power for 2-3 min until the butter is melted or, alternatively, brown under a hot preheated grill. Serve immediately, sprinkled with a little grated nutmeg.

Try spinach or tomato flavoured pasta for the colour effect, or even wholemeal pasta for a 'nutty' taste.
