    Awesome meal that I've made twice already. I use chopped tomatoes in chilli and add 200g's of chorizo as I love the stuff.

    Fantastic quick evening meal, the chorizo is packed full of flavour and the rosemary adds a sophistication and another dimension.

    Very simple and quick dish, although I did have to put my own twist to make it a bit more interesting. I added onion, garlic, a splash of balsamic vinegar and substituted basil as I didn't have any rosemary. Didn't add the cream either as I didn't have any, will definitely go back to this dish if I ever have any leftover chorizo that needs using up!

    I think it needed a bit more liquid - would possibly use some passata as well next time, or use wine, as others have suggested. I left out the rosemary and added some onion. Overall, still very tasty :)

    I fried an onion and red pepper in garlic oil and used Creme fraiche. Topped it all off with mozzarella and parmesan before browning in the oven. Did not bother with the rosemary. Easy!

    Really tasty and easy pasta dish. I added some chopped shallot, garlic and red pepper whilst frying the chorizo and a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce. Not a scrap left over.

    This is probably my favourite pasta dish, I love the rosemary in it. You can make it using fresh tomatoes and discard the skin and seeds but that's a real labour of love. I also reserve a bit of the pasta water to add extra moisture.

    This was easy to prepare, tasty and everyone loved it, including the children, not a scrap left! Because I made it for five, I made the recipe 2.5 times that stated and I did tweak it slightly! I swapped the rosemary for fresh coriander and I added an onion, 4 cloves of garlic, one red chilli and one red pepper. When plated up, I topped it with fresh basil and finely grated mozzarella and garlic pizza bread on the side - it was delicious!

    It was really yummy, we added some caramelised onions to sweeten up the sauce and it worked really well. Loved it!

    Really easy and tasty pasta to make. I used really cheap tinned tomatoes so the sauce was a little watery - next time I'll use more expensive tomatoes or a basic jar of sauce.
