Tips


💡Boil your pasta with a tablespoon of olive oil

💡Chop the chorizo to be around the same size as Sundried tomatoes

💡Fresh pasta generally don’t need more than a min or 2 of boiling

💡If using cooked prawns, add when you add pasta

💡Cook pasta for a few mins less than the packaging says. I generally find packaging time ends up over

💡Save 1/4-1/2 or 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to make the sauce. The amount of water depends on how much sauce you prefer

💡Before adding the rest of the chilli, taste to see if the half you added is enough
