Preparation

Step 1

In a hot, large pan, fry the chorizo and bacon until golden brown. Remove from the pan

In the bacon & chorizo fat, fry the onion and garlic until soft and translucent then add the tomatoes and sugar. Add a splash of water and allow to cook and reduce for 10-15 minutes.

If the tomatoes seem to be drying out, add a splash of water/chicken stock.

When the tomatoes are soft and the sauce has reduced, add the chorizo and bacon back to the pan and add the parsley. Season to taste.

Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and add some of the reserved cooking liquid to loosen the sauce has you go.

Being a general food freak has proven to be quite helpful in this career I've found myself in. Author of two cookbooks, photographer, food stylist. Mom to twins. Ex make-up and hair artist obsessed with beautiful clothes and spaces. I love a good G&T and I've been known to spend too much money on shoes.

Made this pasta last night and it was an immediate hit with my husband who is normally suspicious of new dishes. I had mushrooms in the fridge, so added those as well – they blended in well with the other ingredients. Was most delicious and will definitely be a regular in future.
