Pasta with Chicken and Chorizo

Not dissimilar to the recipe for pasta with a spicy prawn sauce, but subtly different. Really yummy!

2 onions (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp chilli, crushed
8 tomatoes, skinned and in 8s
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 chicken breast, in strips
150 g chorizo, cubed
2 tsp lemon juice
fresh basil
salt and pepper
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Fry the onions, garlic and chilli. Add the tomatoes and tomato puree and cook a few minutes. Add the chicken and chorizo and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through. Add the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and season. Tear the basil into small pieces and add just before serving on freshly cooked pasta.

Enjoy!

Pasta with Spicy Prawns

Mmmm... spicy...

2 onions
3 cloves garlic
5 tomatoes
100 g fresh peeled king prawns
1/2 tsp chilli (of the very lazy variety)
2 tbsp tomato puree
3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1.5 tsp balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

Finely chop the onions and fry with with the crushed garlic. Skin the tomatoes, and chope into 8s. Add these with all the other ingredients except the prawns. Cook until reduced down.

Add pasta to pan of boiling water, and at the same time add the prawns to the sauce. Serve as soon as the pasta is done.
