Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish's taste, though some found it too creamy or lacking depth. Consider reducing creme fraiche for a more balanced flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Praised as quick, easy, and perfect for busy weeknights. Some noted it's simple enough for beginners or children to prepare.
  • Suggestions: Add more vegetables like red peppers or mushrooms. Consider using less water for a thicker sauce and increasing the chorizo quantity.
  • Portions: Some found it filling, while others felt the pasta-to-protein ratio was off. Consider adding more chorizo or vegetables for heartier servings.
  • Texture: The crispy onions and feta cheese garnish received mixed reviews. Some loved the crunch, while others found the combination unusual.
