Quick Chorizo & Tomato Orecchiette
with Semi-Dried Tomatoes & Parmesan
Orecchiette literally means “little ears.” A very fitting noodle for this dish, as this bowl of pasta is like music to ours! Said pasta is cooked to al dente perfection, then tossed with a chorizo-studded sauce. Topped off with a sprinkle of sharp Parmesan, it doesn’t get much better than this. Actually, it does, because the kids can help out with this one!

Instructions
• Boil the kettle. • Finely chop celery. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook cherry tomatoes and celery, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then add orecchiette and cook until 'al dente', 8 minutes. • Meanwhile, roughly chop mild chorizo. Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • When the pasta is done, drain and return to pan.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• To the pan with the chorizo, stir in garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add passata, chicken stock pot and the butter. Cook until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes • Stir in the pasta, tomatoes, celery and mixed leaves. Add 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chorizo and tomato orecchiette between bowls. • Top with semi-dried tomatoes (see ingredients) and remaining Parmesan to serve.
Little cooks: Help garnish the dish with the toppings!
