Chorizo, spinach and tomato pasta with red pesto.
Being the night after the big day. I had a lot of tired, grumpy and kids. We needed something filling and quick. This meal didn't fail and at under £4.00 all in was great value for money too.

Instructions
- Cook the pasta as per instructions on pack
- While the pasta was cooking, I heated a little oil in a pan and added the garlic and cooked for about a minute before adding the tomatoes and cooking for another couple of minutes. I then chucked the chorizo in and cooked fora further 2-3 minutes. Finally I added the spinach and cooked for a couple of minutes until it had wilted.
- Using a paddle with holes, I spooned the cooked pasta into the pan, making sure a few tablespoons of the pasta water was transferred too. I mixed the pasta and poured in the red pesto. Warming it thorough and mixing before serving.
- Ten minutes, less than £4.00, four well feed and happier children.
