- STEP 3Once chorizo has crisped a bit add sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, salt, pepper and chilli flakes and stir.
- STEP 4After the mushrooms have softened pour tinned tomatoes and coriander and stir. Then put lid on and leave to simmer for 5-7mins.
- STEP 5Finally, remove from heat and mix into cooked pasta and serve!
