Instructions

 

Chorizo pasta

• Due to the nice weather dinner was running late, so making a start, I took the outer coating from the chorizo and sliced thinly half of it and chopped the other half. I chopped the tomatoes and ripped up the mozzarella. Chucking each thing into a separate little pot.
• I then made the dressing by mixing all three ingredients in a small jug and put to the side.
• I chucked the pasta into a pan of boiling after and cooked it for about 10/11 minutes, whilst this was cooking away. I fried the chorizo for about 3 minutes until it started to change colour slightly. Using a colander and bowl I separated the chorizo oil and chorizo, I chorizo onto some paper towels.
• Finally, I chucked the pasta, dressing, chorizo and tomato into a large bowl and tossed them together before serving with the mozzarella and a drizzle of the chorizo oil over.
