Life is a combination of magic and pasta!
This creamy chorizo pasta is the perfect dish for a quick midweek dinner. Be sure to pick up your smoked and matured chorizo from La Boucherie for an extra delicious dish.
What you will need:
• 350 g dried pasta of choice
• 250 g chorizo, skinned and roughly chopped
• 100 g bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1 tsp dried basil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 180 ml cream
• Handful baby spinach, roughly chopped
