Spicy Chorizo & Olive Pasta | Summer Sunshine Series



Today I am sharing with you another great summer recipe that is really delicious and easy to whip up when you have company! The spicy sauce is really versatile and goes very well with chicken, salmon or over zucchini noodles as well as with pasta. I have used brown rice pasta in this recipe but you can use whatever you prefer. You can also make this veggie by skipping the chorizo & pancetta and replacing these with mixed beans - just as delicious!



This recipe also freezes really well - just add a little water before reheating to loosen the sauce up a little. ENJOY!



To make the sauce you will need:
Onion, diced
Bell peppers, diced
Zucchini, chopped
Pancetta, diced
Chorizo, chopped
Olives
Herbs & spices of your choice - I used dried cilantro (coriander), parsely and plenty of hot paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Chopped tomatoes



This is one of those recipes where anything goes and everytime I make it it's a little different - throw in whatever you have in your fridge! Try adding sub dried tomatoes or roasted peppers for more flavour - especially if you are skipped on the pancetta and chorizo.

Simmer away for at least 20-30 minutes - the longer this simmers the better it will taste!



This recipe is a great crowd pleaser and a fantastic way to sneak plenty of veggies in for those who don't eat enough!
