Ingredients
- ½ x 150g pack diced chorizo
- 1 large garlic clove, sliced
- 250g ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 200g dried tagliatelle
- 125g frozen peas
- 4 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
- 30g Parmesan, finely grated
- 40g rocket
Step by step
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and heat a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat.
- Add the chorizo to the dry frying pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts releasing its fat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute before adding the tomatoes. Season, and cook gently for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down, adding a splash of water to help things along.
- Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle in the salted boiling water for 7 minutes. Add the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 minutes more or until the pasta is tender, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water.
- Stir the crème fraîche and most of the Parmesan into the sauce, then toss with the tagliatelle, peas and most of the rocket, adding enough of the pasta cooking water to give the sauce a good coating consistency. Divide between warm bowls, pile a little more rocket on top and scatter with the rest of the Parmesan.
