Method

  1. Cook the linguine following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the chorizo in a cold frying pan over a low heat, then gradually increase it. Enough oil will be released by the chorizo to brown it without adding extra.
  2. Stir and fry the chorizo until it is completely frazzled, then lift it out onto a plate.
  3. Add the capers to the frying pan and cook for 1 min. Scoop them out and discard any excess oil.
  4. Drain the pasta and add the chorizo and capers along with the lemon juice and rocket. Season and toss everything together.

    This was lovely and really easy to make. I drizzled over a little extra virgin just before serving and added a few black olives to the pasta with the rocket and lemon juice. Delicious!!

    I left out the capers as non of my family eat it and it still worked. It did have that little something lacking but not too noticable. Nice quick and easy.

    if you don't like capers, then maybe a little sun-dried tomato would work?

    Very tasty and quick to make. Not sure about the amount of lemon juice. I'd probably only use half a lemon next time and maybe add olive oil.

    I did this meal tonight and just had chorizo (definitely frazzled), rocket and a few tablespoons of low fat yoghurt. The yoghurt helped bind the ingredients and help wilt the rocket. No capers or lemon though. Really tasty, go easy on the chorizo though.
