A simple but impressive pasta dish with the kick of chorizo and crushed chillies balanced by a creamy tomato sauce.
Method
-
Melt the butter in a sauce pan, add chopped rosemary and diced tomatoes.
-
Season with salt and pepper and sugar.
-
Cook until the tomatoes have just begun to soften into a sauce, which takes about 5 minutes.
-
Slice the sausage into 5mm/¼in rounds and add to the pan with the crushed chilies.
-
Add the cream and two tablespoons of chopped flatleaf parsley, and allow to bubble for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the cream has reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
-
Cook the pasta until it is 'al dente', drain and stir into the sauce with the grated parmesan.
-
Sprinkle with remaining flatleaf parsley, and serve.
