You will also need

300 g whole-grain pasta (e.g. fusilli)

  2. Fry the chorizo slices in a dry pan until the fat renders. Add the peppers and onions, and fry for about 10 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil and spices. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. Boil the pasta in slightly salted water (½ tsp salt / 2 l water) for as long as instructed on the package.

  4. Mix the drained pasta with the sauce. Garnish with basil.
