Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a full kettle.
- Pour it into a saucepan with ½ tsp salt on high heat.
- Boil the pasta, 8 mins.
- Once cooked, drain and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through.
2
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
- Fry the chorizo, 3-4 mins.
3
- Stir in the tomato puree and half the chilli flakes. Fry, 1 min.
- Add the creme fraiche, chicken stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry for both). Simmer, 2-3 mins.
- Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it’s piping hot, 1-2 mins.
4
- Stir the cooked pasta, sun-dried tomato paste and half the cheese into the sauce. Add a splash of water if needed.
- Share between bowls. Top with the rocket and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Rich, smoky, and well-seasoned, with the chorizo and sun-dried tomato paste adding real depth to the sauce. Some found the flavour too creamy or salty, while others felt it needed more tomato or a smokier chorizo taste.
- Ease of prep: Genuinely quick and straightforward, with many getting it on the table in around 15 minutes on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Add the spinach to the sauce in the final few minutes of simmering, as this step is missing from some printed recipe cards. Use only half the chilli flakes if cooking for children or those sensitive to heat, and consider reducing the crème fraîche slightly if you prefer a less creamy, more tomato-forward sauce.
- Next-day meals: One reviewer noted the dish tasted even better reheated the next day, making it a handy option for leftovers.
- Portions: A number of reviewers felt the chorizo portion was on the small side; picking up a little extra from the shops is an easy way to boost the dish.
