Pasta with chorizio, bacon, cream and red pesto
This is so quick to knock up and tastes awesome. The Red pesto compliments the dish, giving it a real depth of flavour, and the added cream adds that little bit of richness. What with the smokiness from the chorizio and bacon, every mouthful becomes an adventure for your taste buds.
