Cooking Steps
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Roughly chop tomato. Grate carrot. Cut mild chorizo into 1cm-thick half-moons. • Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until 'al dente', 9 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Return the pasta to the saucepan.
TIP: Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• While pasta is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. • Cook the chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving the residual oil in the pan. • Return frying pan to a medium-high heat. Cook tomato and carrot, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 6-7 minutes. • Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add light cooking cream, garlic & herb seasoning and chicken-style stock powder to frying pan and cook, stirring, 1 minute. • Return chorizo to frying pan, then add cooked fettuccine, semi-dried tomatoes and reserved pasta water. Cook, tossing, until combined and heated through, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season, then add salad leaves, tossing to coat. Top with 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese.
• Divide chorizo and semi-dried tomato pasta between bowls. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. • Serve with green salad.
