Ingredients
Using an Italian soup with mini meatballs in will add more texture and flavour to this dish.
- 100g (3½ oz) penne pasta
- 50g chorizo sausage, sliced
- 100g bag baby spinach leaves
- 1 can of Italian soup
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Crusty bread, to serve
Method
- Cook the penne pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 8-10 mins or until just tender and 'al dente'.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick frying pan and add the chorizo, cook for 3 mins until the fat runs and the chorizo is golden. (If you prefer, spoon off the fat). Add the spinach leaves to the chorizo, cover the pan with a tray or lid and cook for 1-2 mins or until the leaves have wilted. Add the soup and heat through.
- Drain the pasta, then add it into the hot soup mixture, stir until well mixed. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan and crusty bread.
