Chorizo and Bacon Pasta

A while back I had my good friend Peter over for dinner. I cooked one of my favourite pastas; chorizo and bacon, and we had some fun filming the first episode of don’tplaywithyourfood. We’re still editing it but for now you can enjoy the recipe below:

Ingredients
Egg Pasta
Chorizo
Bacon
Garlic
Tinned Tomatoes (1)
Pasta Sauce (Plain organic)
Onion (1)
Red Wine (30ml)
Bay Leaf
Carrot (Finely Diced)
S&P
Olive Oil

Preparation
1. Prepare all ingredients, chop the bacon and chorizo into bite sized strips
2. Boil a pot of water and add  dash of salt and oil
3. Heat up a frying pan medium to high and lightly oil
4. Fry the bacon and chorizo for several minutes and then add the onion. You don’t want these to be completely cooked, thay way they will absorb the other flavours of the sauce
5. Turn the frying pan down to low to medium and add the tin of tomatoes, pasta sauce, bay leaf, red wine, carrot and a dash of S&P
6. Stir the ingredients and heat the pan medium to high to bring the sauce to a boil and then turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer
7. Throw the pasta in the pot of boiling water and cook according to the packet
8. Once the pasta is cooked drain it and serve into a bowl, pouring the sauce over the pasta
