    I thought that this recipe lacked depth of flavour. However as a quick meal, excellent.

    I agree with the above comment, a quick, easy meal, but nothing particularly special. Would probably make again though.

    This is not bad, but not great. Use very good chorizo for best results. It is lacking something though!

    If you fiddle about this with recipe a bit it has plenty of flavour. Try using a small tin of chopped tomatoes instead of the sun-blushed ones, and let it reduce down for a bit.

    This had quite a strong flavour which I wasn't mad on. Probably wouldn't make again.

    I used tageatelle rather than penne for this, but like the other people that have commented found that it lacked something. I tried to thicken the sauce with flour which didn't work at all and went lumpy. Maybe some creme fraiche to make it a creamy-winey sauce would improve it.

    Gave this a go last night as a quick no fussy meal. Was nice, I just felt it lacked something but hubby loved it. I used basil instead of parsley. Liked the flavour of the red wine, would do it again!
