Method
- Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. Drain, reserving a ladleful of the cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo, breaking it up as you go, for about 5 minutes until golden. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes more.
- Add the drained pasta and a splash of the reserved cooking liquid to the pan with the chorizo, adding a little more liquid if needed to loosen the sauce. Mix well to coat the pasta and heat through.
- Remove from the heat and toss in the basil and rocket. Dot over the ricotta, drizzle with a little oil, mix gently and serve.
