Chorizo Mushroom and Spinach Penne

 

This is so easy to make and so delicious.  The key is not to overcook the penne initially because you are going to cook it in the sauce for a bit and you would want it to soak up a bit of the sauce.

Serves 2

Ingredients

 

160g dried penne pasta

1 chorizo sausage (sliced, not too thinly)

120g button mushrooms cut into halves

1 garlic clove

200g tomatoes (diced)

hand full of baby spinach leaves

Shaved parmesan to serve

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Cook penne according to the instructions on the packet.  Drain and set aside.
2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in frying pan and fry the chorizo sausage until brown.  Add mushroom and garlic and cook for another few minutes.  Add the diced tomatoes and cook until the sauce thickens.
3. Add penne and spinach to the tomato mixture and gently toss to combine.
4. Spoon pasta into bowls and top with shaved parmesan.  Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
