Fridge is kinda full of nothing.. Got some slices of Chorizo lurking in there though.. And a few almost overripe tomatoes hanging around.. Time for some superhero-stylee transformation. Tonight these 2 mild mannered malingerers have become something rather special. No need for a radioactive spider nor telephone box. Consider this recipe the super hero dressing chamber, where your spicy sausage is catapulted to super-sausage greatness. Without even a hint of spandex in sight (disappointingly)!
Half a red onion, finely sliced
1 dessert spoonful of olive oil
A little knob of butter
10 skinny slices of Chorizo, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely sliced
Half a teaspoon of dried mixed herbs
A handful of Cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1 large tomato, chunked)
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pasta (enough to quench your appetite)
Finely grated cheddar
Method
Get the pasta on in a big pan of water over a medium heat and cook according to the instructions on the pack. About half way through (if you're boiling dried pasta) chuck in a frozen spinach brick.
Meanwhile, sweat your onion in the oil, butter and a pinch of salt over a medium high heat, until just starting to brown (3-4 mins). Chuck in the Chorizo and fry until brown at the edges and turning crispy (3-4 mins). Turn the heat down slightly and add in the garlic, dried herbs and tomatoes. Fry for a further 4 mins. Season to taste.
Drain and plate the pasta and spinach, grate a bit of cheddar over the top and cover in the chorizo and cherry tomato sauce.
