Ingredients

75 grams of pasta per person

A little fingers length of Chorizo per person, diced

3 rashers of streaky bacon per person, diced

2 cloves of garlic per person finely sliced or crushed using a garlic crusher

2 button mushrooms per person, sliced

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Handful of frozen peas and you guessed it... per person

Put the pasta in a pan and then boil the kettle

While the kettle is boiling chuck the Chorizo and bacon in a frying pan with the oil on a high heat.

Put the boiling water from the kettle in the pan of pasta and add salt, pepper and a dash of olive oil. Simmer until done.

Once the bacon looks like it is about to get crispy add the mushrooms and the garlic. Keep turning at this point to make sure the bacon doesn't burn.

Just before you drain the past throw the peas in the frying pan with the bacon and turn the heat down to low.

Drain the pasta and then add the pasta to the frying pan and coat it in the lovely orangey/red oil from the chorizo.

Serve with some freshly ground pepper.
