Cooking Steps

1
  • Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat.
  • Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes.
  • Reserve pasta water (1 cup for 2 people / 2 cups for 4 people).
  • Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan and drizzle with olive oil. 
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice garlic and brown onion (see ingredients). Roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes. Cut chorizo into small chunks. 
3
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chorizo and onion until golden, 4-6 minutes. 
  • Add capers, semi-dried tomatoes and garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. 

TIP: Capers have a strong flavour, use less if desired. 

4
  • Reduce heat to low, then add cream cheese and the reserved pasta water, stirring until smooth and combined, 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir through cooked spaghetti, until combined. Season to taste.

TIP: If the pasta is dry, add a splash of water and stir through. 

5
  • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Add rocket, tossing to coat. 
6
  • Divide chorizo, caper and cream cheese spaghetti between bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese and dressed rocket. Enjoy!
