Chicken and Chorizo Pasta!

Did someone say chicken and chorizo?!
This recipe is inspired from a dish from Vodka Revolution, a vodka bar in the UK which serves fantastic food. It's a pretty basic idea, but with an incredible taste explosion! You're free to cook as much or as little as you like, if you want more chicken just add more. The fun with cooking is that you're free to experiment, just as I have with this recipe!

Ingredients
- Pasta
- Chicken
- Chorizo
- Rosemary (I used dry)
- Red Pesto
- Tiny drop of oil
You can pick all of these ingredients up at most supermarkets, and they're relatively inexpensive :)

Equipment
- Saucepan
- Frying pan

Preparation
- Make sure the chicken is cut into quite small pieces to minimise cooking time, if like me you're a bit of a raw-chicken-phobe wear some gloves or put a sandwich bags on your hands!
- Sprinkle rosemary onto the chicken (depending on how much you like rosemary)
- Boil the kettle for the pasta and you're ready to go!

Instructions
- Put the pasta in the saucepan and pour over the boiling water
- Add a tiny drop of oil to the frying pan, just enough so you can move the chicken without it sticking, and cook the chicken
- Once the chicken is cooked and the pasta is close to finish, add the chorizo in slices (tear them in half if you wish)
- When everything is done, drain the pasta, mix in some red pesto to taste, and serve up!

It's such a simple dish but tastes so good, I've cooked it for two sets of friends and they both loved it!

Tips
- The chorizo can go slightly bacon flavoured and textured when cooked for a long while, and all it really needs is 30 seconds in the frying pan if that.
- Don't like chorizo? You could try salami, or even smoked bacon!
- Red pesto is give or take for some people especially with the pine nuts for those with allergies, but I'm sure a simple concoction of chopped up sundried tomatoes will do the same trick.


Please let me know if you're thinking of trying this recipe, or have something similar that you cook. I'd love to hear from you and your tricks and tips, maybe you've got some great recipes too! :)
