Instructions

Roast some Veggies
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C and put a large saucepan of water with a good pinch of salt on to boil for the pasta. Cut the cherry plum tomatoes in half. Halve, then remove the cores from the peppers and slice into strips. Lay the tomatoes and peppers on a lined baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Roast on the top shelf of your oven until starting to brown at the edges, 15-20 mins.

Prep the Others
2

Halve, peel and chop the onion into roughly ½cm pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the chives (stalks and all).

Cook the Pasta
3

Weigh out the rigatoni (You may not need the whole pack! Check how much you need on the ingredients list). Add the pasta to your pan of boiling water. Cook until 'al dente', 11 mins. TIP: 'Al dente' simply means the pasta is cooked through but has a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.

Get Frying!
4

Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and chorizo. Stir together and cook until the onion is soft, 5 mins. Add the garlic and a few good grinds of black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.

Make the Sauce
5

Cut the black olives in half lengthways and add to the frying pan along with a splash of the pasta water. TIP: Using pasta water is a classic Italian trick. It adds a little starch which helps the sauce cling to the pasta. Once the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and combine with the sauce in the frying pan.

Finish and Serve
6

Add the roasted tomatoes and peppers to your frying pan. Tear in half the mozzarella cheese and add most (but not all) of the chopped chives. Serve in bowls with a generous dollop of the red pesto drizzled on top, followed by the remaining mozzarella torn over. Sprinkle with the rest of the basil. Buon appetito!
