Chorizo is a delicious Spanish sausage, that although it tends to look dangerously spicy does come in milder iterations. Here we've used it in an easy and delicious pasta dish.

Directions

1. Boil the pasta following directions on the packet.

2. Finely chop onion and garlic. Rinse and clean the bell pepper and cut into strips. Peel the carrots and cut them into bite-sized, diagonal chunks. Rinse, clean and halve the mushrooms.

3. Remove the skin of the chorizo (if you fancy, this is optional) and slice the sausage. Don't forget to wash your hands and utensils when you're done - especially if you've bought fresh chorizo.

4. Cook onion and garlic for a few minutes with a bit of olive oil in a deep pan or pot. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil. Let simmer for about 15 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Mix with the warm pasta and top with a bit of greens, should you have any handy.

6. Enjoy!
