1. 1

   Peel and cube the potato. Boil until tender, and drain.
   Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts.
   Cook the pasta until al dente and refresh. [If you have the time or the patience, slice the pasta tubes in half, as it gives you a better finished product.]
   Once the potato has drained and cooled a little, add the toasted pine nuts, pasta and the rest of the ingredients apart from the oil.
   Briefly heat the potato mixture in a pan to help combine the ingredients. Allow to cool again. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes.
   Shape the mixture into about 8-10 patties (depending on the size of potato used).
   Lightly flour and fry the patties in the oil until golden brown on both sides.
   Serve warm.
