Hello & Welcome to Friday!

What with all the political comings and goings over the last 24 hours I had almost forgotten that this weekend we are not only going to be celebrating at our baby shower but Robert the Husband and I are also going to be kicking back and relaxing before the new arrivals. This means that we’ll be eating and right now we (I) crave nothing more than fresh, tasty, fast food. By ‘fast’ I don’t mean a burger, what I mean is a great dish that takes moments to appear in front of me on a plate….and this is exactly what this new recipe is like!

Serves 2 adults

How to make it -

boil your pasta according to the instructions and until it is ‘al dente’
drain and set aside
add some olive oil to a pan and heat gently – not allowing to burn
put the chorizo, garlic, shallots and pepper in to the heated oil and keep moving about in the pan so as not to burn the garlic
allow to soften for a few moments on a moderate heat
add the passata, the cherry tomatoes, the chili sauce and the dried basil and oregano
stir and continue to stir for a few moments
add the pasta and stir all the ingredients together for a minute or two to get the pasta good and hot again
serve on two plates
tear up the ball of mozzarella and divide between the two plates
tear the basil leaves up and add to the top of the pasta

Have a wonderful weekend and do let me know if you try this recipe. We’ll soon be making it easier for you to get in touch by adding a comment form to the end of each post but until then you can reach me on Twitter and Facebook by using the links below.

I’m off now as the house is already buzzing with Baby Shower activity. We’ve taken tonnes of behind the scenes pics so you can see the whole process right here next week.

ENJOY folks and, as ever, thanks so much for reading. Something rather exciting happened yesterday and I’ll fill you all in on Monday.

Lots of love, Cherry
