Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the chorizo and beans into a large roasting tin and spread out evenly. Drizzle over a little olive oil and roast for 25 minutes, turning once, until the chorizo is crisp and cooked through. Add the sage leaves for the last 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread the dried breadcrumbs on a separate baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Set aside.
- Around 12 minutes before the end of the chorizo cooking time, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta, then put in a large mixing bowl. Toss the chorizo and bean mixture through the pasta with a good drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon zest and juice, breaking up the sage into smaller pieces. Divide among 4 bowls, scatter with the breadcrumbs, then serve with a grating of parmesan.
