Chorizo and spinach pasta
Background
On busy or lazy day I find that pasta dishes are the easiest meals to create. While the pasta is cooking in boiling water, a delicious and filling sauce can be created. This chorizo and spinach pasta is a perfect example -Β itβs yummy, hearty and contains four veggies too. You can spice it up by adding some chilli flakes or using spicy chorizo. Serve it with a leafy salad.
Ingredients
- 200g pasta of your choice
- 100g cooking chorizo (spicy, if liked)
- Β½ red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 1 Tbsp tomato purΓ©e
- 100g spinach
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Add the spinach to the cooking water for just the last 60 seconds.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and dice the chorizo & pepper. Heat a frying pan and add the chopped chorizo, red pepper and onion. Gently cook for about 10 minutes, until the chorizo has released its fat and the onion has softened. Add the tomato purΓ©e and stir for a minute or so.
- Add a ladleful of the cooking water of the pasta & spinach to the chorizo mixture. Let it bubble and reduce to a thick sauce.
- Drain the pasta & spinach and add to the chorizo sauce. Combine well, season to taste and serve.
