Boil the kettle.
Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
Cook orecchiette (see ingredients) over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
Reserve pasta water (2 tbs per person). Drain orecchiette, then return to saucepan and drizzle with olive oil.

Meanwhile, trim cos lettuce, then roughly tear leaves.
Slice cucumber into thin rounds.
Roughly chop mild chorizo.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook chorizo until golden, 4-6 minutes. Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium, add light cooking cream and the reserved pasta water and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Remove pan from heat, then stir through Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and cooked pasta until cheese is melted and pasta is coated. Season generously with pepper.

Spread sliced sourdough with the softened butter, then fill with chorizo mac n' cheese and shredded mozzarella.
Heat toastie in a sandwich press for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
