Yum. I’m writing and trying to put out the fire in my mouth with some lovely Rioja left from last night’s steaks.  I meant to cook a pasta with spicy chorizo, rocket on top kinda thing, but having seen Jamie Oliver on tv earlier this evening making spaghetti with prawns, I reconsidered. I took my prawns out of the freezer, they’ve only been there for 2 hours- I decided it wasn’t enough for 2- and made a sauce out of red onion, the whole red chilli, a clove of garlic, a handful of cherry tomatoes, some cooking chorizo, thinly sliced, a few green beans for colour, passata, Knorr chicken bulionette and pretty much no seasoning at all. Florek told me on the phone on the way home, that he’d rather not have prawns on his pasta, so I divided the sauce in half, threw prawns in mine, added a touch of double cream to turn down the heat a touch and then mixed with spaghetti. Finished with some basil and fresh rocket leaves.  I loved it, can’t remember when I enjoyed my prawns so much, they were perfect. Rioja de la Concordia with it- money. 🙂
