Method
step 1
Chop the chorizo ring into coins. Heat a large, deep, flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat and cook the chorizo for 4-5 mins, stirring to make sure it doesn’t catch, until it's crispy and has released its oils. Meanwhile, roughly chop the onion. Remove the chorizo to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside.
step 2
Cook the onion in the chorizo oil for 5 mins, stirring often until starting to soften. Stir in the garlic purée, cook for 30 seconds more, then pour in the tomatoes and stock.
step 3
Bring to the boil, then stir in the pasta and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 mins, partially covered with a lid and stirring occasionally. In the final 2-3 mins of cooking, add the spinach in two additions, stirring well until wilted. Scatter in most of the cooked chorizo, reserving a few pieces to garnish, then tear in the mozzarella ball and stir to melt.
step 4
Season to taste, then serve in bowls with the remaining chorizo on top.
