Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to packet instructions / your own preferences. Drain immediately when cooked to your liking.
- Meanwhile, place the olive oil and diced onions in a fairly large saucepan and fry over a low heat, with the lid on, for 3 minutes, or until softened but not brown.
- Add the red pepper and chorizo and fry on low for a further 3 minutes.
- Add the passata, turn up the heat and bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down and simmer for 5 minutes.
- When the 5 minutes are up, add the prawns and double cream and cook for 2 more minutes over a low heat, then turn off the heat.
- Tip the cooked pasta into the sauce and turn the pasta in the sauce until it is well coated.
- Rip up the basil and stir it into the pasta.
