Cooking Steps
- Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and a generous pinch of salt.
- Cook fettuccine in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
- Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain fettuccine, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice fennel (reserving fronds for garnish!)
- Thinly slice zucchini into half-moons.
- Finely chop garlic.
- Roughly chop mild chorizo.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook fennel, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a good splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook chorizo and zucchini, tossing, until golden brown, 4-6 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir in light cooking cream, chicken stock pot and the reserved pasta water until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat then add baby spinach leaves, cooked fettuccine, caramelised fennel and Parmesan cheese (reserving a pinch for garnish!), tossing to combine. Season with pepper.
- Divide caramelised fennel and creamy chorizo fettuccine between bowls.
- Garnish with reserved Parmesan cheese and fennel fronds. Enjoy!
