Method

  1. Heat the oil over a high heat in a medium-sized frying pan. Add the chorizo and onion and fry for 6-8 mins until crisp. Add the butter and garlic, reduce the heat to medium and cook for a further 3 mins. 
  2. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 10 mins until al dente. Drain, reserving 50ml of the cooking water and return both to the pan along with the chorizo sauce, courgette and parsley. Beat well with a wooden spoon, then divide between 4 pasta bowls and serve with a grind of black pepper.
