Here's an easy, creamy pasta bake to add to your weekly dinner rotation. Roast up zucchini and chorizo with our garlic and herb seasoning and toss them together with 'al dente' penne, basil pesto, baby spinach leaves and cheesy Cheddar for a simple but oh-so-delicious dinner!
We’ve replaced the fusilli in this recipe with penne due to local ingredient availability. It may be a little different to what’s pictured, but just as delicious!
