1. Pour the oil into a large pan (a wok is the best option) and sauté the onion, garlic and mushrooms until the onion is translucent, the garlic is cooked (but not brown) and the mushrooms are just about cooked.
2. Add the chorizo and tinned tomatoes; simmer for 5 minutes
3. Whilst the sauce is cooking add your pasta to very salted boiling water (the Italians say the water should be as salty as the Mediterranean Sea).
4. Add chilli powder, black pepper, fresh basil a sprinkle of salt to the sauce and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stirring on a regular basis.
5. Stir in the cream and cook for 5 minutes, stirring on a regular basis
6. Drain the pasta once cooked and add to the sauce. Cooked on a high heat for 1 minute whilst stirring. Do not let it stick.

  Try using this lovely sauce withou the cream for gnocchi, cook it first, drain and add sauce, then pour over some cheese sauce, homemade, packet or bottled and little parmesan or cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. Pop in the oven at about 180- 200c just to brown the top 15 mins or so. Delicious.
