Spicy chorizo pasta
We had just come back from West Dean's chili fiesta with some nice spicy chorizo sausage. As we had some fresh pasta in the fridge I thought I would try to combine the two somehow. It was good.

- 40 g (1 ½ oz) butter
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped finely
- 1 clove Garlic
- 75 g (4 oz) chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
- 25 g (1 oz) home smoked bacon, thinly sliced
- 1 small sprig rosemary, leaves finely chopped
- 100 ml dry white wine (I used 75ml dry sherry and 25ml water as I had no white wine)
- Pinch ground cloves
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 200g fresh pasta (tagiolini or fettucini)
- 25 g (1 oz) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Dash of garlic olive oil
- Handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
Method
- Heat the butter in a pan and fry the onion and garlic until the onions have softened, about 3 minutes
- Toss in the sausages and smoked bacon and gently fry until browned
- Add the wine and rosemary and slowly cook for 5 minutes
- Add the nutmeg and cloves and pepper, the bacon should provide enough salt
- In the meantime, cook the pasta in fast boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes. Dry pasta or spaghetti will take longer.
