Aoife’s Mushroom & Chorizo Pasta recipe

I am a firm believer that having the kids help cook makes them a lot less fussy when it comes to eating so I try and encourage mine to be hands on in the kitchen (even though it can end up taking twice as long).

This is one of the first recipes I got Aoife on board with in the kitchen and it’s a favourite for all of us.

This recipe serves 4.

Mushroom and Chorizo Pasta Ingredients

• Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Onion chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic crushed
• 200g mushrooms sliced
• 125ml Vegetable Stock
• 1 Can of chopped tomatoes
• Chorizo ring sliced
• A good sprinkle of herbs de provence/oregano/mixed herbs/green stuff.
• 280g Pasta or spaghetti

Mushroom and Chorizo Pasta Method

• Start cooking the pasta
• Heat the olive oil in a high sided frying pan – add the onion and garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
• Add the Chorizo and fry for a further 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, stir all together and cook for a further 3 minutes.
• Pour over the stock and tinned tomatoes  and allow to simmer until the sauce thickens.
• Drain cooked pasta and stir into the mushroom and chorizo mix.
• Eat and enjoy!

If you happen to have any red wine laying around the place and small glass added to the sauce makes it all a little richer.
