Method
- 1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to packet instructions and set aside, reserving one cup of cooking water.
- 2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes before adding the chorizo. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the chorizo begins to release all of its oils.
- 3. Add the prawns to the pan, stir to cover with the chorizo oil, then add the paprika, chilli, the zest and juice of the half lemon and continue mixing.
- 4. Add the tomatoes, and fry for 2-3 minutes until they soften and can be squished with the back of a spoon. At this point, add half a cup of the pasta water, stir and continue to cook until slightly reduced.
- 5. Once the sauce has thickened a little, add the parmesan, basil and black pepper, then pour in the cooked pasta and stir to thoroughly coat with the sauce. Add more cooking water to loosen if necessary.
- 6. Stir in the rocket right at the end, and serve with a further sprinkling of parmesan and black pepper on top.
