Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1/2 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 pack red pepper pesto Bolognese
  • 1 capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 200g fresh chorizo grind
  • 1 drizzle of oil

Pasta

  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 200g fresh fettuccine

To Serve

  • 50g baby spinach
  • 30g feta cheese, crumbled

Steps

  1. Bring a medium pot of hot salted tap water to the boil with a lid on.
  2. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook chorizo for 3-4 minutes, breaking it up as you go with a wooden spoon. While cooking, thinly slice capsicum. Add red pepper pesto Bolognese, capsicum and canned tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook a further 3-4 minutes, until slightly reduced and hot through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
