Chorizo and Prawn Pasta

ingredients

• 400g casarecce pasta (Don't have to use this, plain ol' spaghetti is just as good!)
• 1 medium chorizo, sliced thinly (I like the chilli ones!)
• 400g napoletana sauce (or passata)
• 1 small brown onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 200g small cooked prawns, peeled, deveined and tails off
• 10 large basil leaves, torn
• generous pinch of salt & pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1/2 tsp. chilli flakes (optional)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• Parmesan to serve

method

1. Cook pasta according to packet instructions.
2. In a deep pan, heat olive oil over a high heat.
3. Add onion, garlic and chilli flakes (if using) to the pan and stir for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Chorizo and cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
5. Add Napoletana sauce, water, salt and pepper. Leave to simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Add prawns and spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes. Don't leave for too much longer as you can over cook the prawns and they may become rubbery.
7. Tear basil leaves through and add cooked pasta.
8. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve hot!
