Ingredients




75 grams of pasta per person
A little fingers length of Chorizo per person, diced
3 rashers of streaky bacon per person, diced
2 cloves of garlic per person finely sliced or crushed using a garlic crusher
2 button mushrooms per person, sliced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Handful of frozen peas and you guessed it... per person

Preparation

1 Put the pasta in a pan and then boil the kettle 2 While the kettle is boiling chuck the Chorizo and bacon in a frying pan with the oil on a high heat. 3 Put the boiling water from the kettle in the pan of pasta and add salt, pepper and a dash of olive oil. Simmer until done. 4 Once the bacon looks like it is about to get crispy add the mushrooms and the garlic. Keep turning at this point to make sure the bacon doesn't burn. 5 Just before you drain the past throw the peas in the frying pan with the bacon and turn the heat down to low. 6 Drain the pasta and then add the pasta to the frying pan and coat it in the lovely orangey/red oil from the chorizo. 7 Serve with some freshly ground pepper.
