This pasta dish is a real hit. It’s a very easy and fast to make a comfort dish.

Ingredients

• 1 ring of chorizo
• Cherry tomato 1 box
• Tomato paste 100g
• Chicken stock (stock cubes)
• Linguine 
• Italian hard cheese (parmigiano, pecorino, Grana Padano)
• Fresh basil
• Oil
• Salt and pepper by taste

Method

1. Make your chicken stock from the cube. Put half a stock cube in 250ml of hot water, and let it dissolve. Make sure you mix it up before use. 
2. Put a bigger pot of water for the pasta, when it's boiling put some salt and cook your linguini for about 10 minutes.
3. Cut your chorizo into 1 cm small cubes.
4. Heat up a dash of oil on medium heat, then bang in your cherry tomatoes and the chorizo. Fry it till the chorizo lets out its spicey oil. 
5. Stir in your tomato paste, then gradually add your chicken stock, make sure you are not making the sauce too thin, we are looking for a creamy texture. 
6. When your pasta is ready add it to your sauce and mix it up.
7. Put your pasta on a plate decorate it with fresh basil, and top it with Italian hard cheese.
