Harrys Spicy Pasta
This has to be Harry’s favourite meal I cook. I love this recipe because the sauce comes together in the same time it takes the pasta to cook. It’s super quick and easy but packs a punch. This is a Holland classic and hopefully your friends and family can enjoy it aswell.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 350 g casarecce pasta or any pasta of your choosing
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 stick of chorizo
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 150 g cherry tomatoes
- 6 tsp of red pesto
- 3 tsp of harissa paste
- 250 ml of double cream
- 300 g spinach
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season generously with salt and add your pasta.
- Thinly slice your chicken breast and peel and slice your chorizo and add it into a hot frying pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice the garlic and add it into the pan with the cherry tomatoes.
- Add the pesto, harrisa and creme fraiche and simmer for a few minutes. Taste and season with more pesto or harissa.
- Place the spinach into a colander and once the pasta is cooked (remember reserve a mug of pasta water) pour it into the colander and the hot water will wilt the spinach.
- Place the pasta back into the large pot and add the sauce. If the sauce is too thin add a handful of parmesan and it will thicken it up. However if it’s too thick add some of that reserved pasta water. Give it a final taste and a final season and serve. Harry likes his with garlic bread.
- Enjoy!
