Creamy pasta with juicy chicken, spicy chorizo, vegetables, Parmesan and cream.
This pasta is packed with flavour, it is very easy to make, and it calls for relatively few ingredients.
An easy pasta dish with chicken and chorizo can be on the table in about half an hour; there is very little prep, and while the sauce simmers you cook your favourite pasta. Serve it for lunch or for dinner.
I have used fresh chorizo sausages — here I squeezed the meat out of the casings and broke it into small pieces. If you cannot find fresh chorizo, you can easily use regular cured chorizo and cut it into small pieces. The main difference is the texture — either way the sausage brings plenty of flavour.

Method
- Heat a little oil in a deep frying pan and fry the chorizo for 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly. Set aside on a plate.If you are using fresh chorizo sausages, squeeze the meat out of the casings and break it into small pieces. If you are using the "traditional" cured chorizo, cut it into small pieces.
- In the same pan, brown the chicken well, and season with salt and pepper.
- Return the chorizo to the pan, add the onion and garlic, and fry for a couple of minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and red pepper and fry for a further 3-4 minutes, then pour over the white wine and add the basil. Let it reduce for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the cream and stir the Parmesan into the sauce, then let it simmer while you cook the pasta al dente according to the packet instructions.Stir from time to time.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water to adjust the consistency if needed, then tip the pasta into the sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Fold the spinach into the sauce, heat through briefly and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let the pasta rest for a couple of minutes before serving, then top with freshly ground pepper, fresh basil and a little grated Parmesan, if you like.
