Print Pin RateServings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 Onion diced
- 150 g Chorizo diced
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 400 g Tin of chopped tomatoes
- 250 g Spaghetti
- 20 g Basil roughly chopped
- 150 g Fresh mozzarella diced
- Parmesan to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to soften.
- Add in the chorizo and cook for a few more minutes until it starts to turn crispy.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for one more minute before pouring in the tinned tomatoes. Rinse out the can with 200ml of water and pour that in too.
- Simmer the sauce for about ten minutes over a medium heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states.
- Once the pasta is al dente, add it into the sauce along with a little bit of pasta water. Stir well to coat the pasta.

- Dish it up, and finish with some grated parmesan.
