1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve cherry tomatoes and toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
2. Roast tomatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they begin to burst and caramelize.
3. While tomatoes roast, cook angel hair pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
4. Meanwhile, toast 1/4 cup pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown. Set aside.
5. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 5 oz fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the roasted tomatoes to the spinach. Stir in the cooked pasta, 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Toss gently to combine. If needed, add more pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
