Ingredients
For the Pasta
- 200g of Dried Pasta - any type works but I use tagliatelle
- 2 tbsp of oil
- Pinch of salt
For the Sauce
- 1 tsp of oil
- 3/4 Frankfurters sliced on the diagonal
- 1 small onion - chopped
- 2 garlic cloves - minced
- 15g Chirizo Sausage - chopped into small pieces
- Pinch of Dried Chilli Flakes
- Pinch of Dried Basil
- 200ml of Cream
- 25g Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Large pinch of Ground Black pepper
Method
- STEP 1Heat a pot of water on a medium to high heat - Once at the simmer add the salt and oil - bring to the boil and add the pasta - Stir frequently to prevent sticking
- STEP 2While the pasta cooks prepare your ingredients for the sauce - everything goes in pretty quick so pre prepared is best.
- STEP 3Heat the oil in a non stick pan over a medium heat.
- STEP 4Add the Garlic and Onion and cook for 1 minute
- STEP 5Add the Frankfurter and Chirizo and fry until the Chirizo starts to release an orange coloured oil
- STEP 6Add the chilli, basil (if using) and the black pepper. Add half the cream and half the parmesan - reduce to thicken
- STEP 7Once it has thickened repeat with the remaining cream and cheese and reduce again
- STEP 8Drain the pasta once cooked and add the sauce mixture - stir until all the pasta is coated and serve with a pinch of pepper and parmesan over the top
