This is a delicious dish which is quick and easy to prepare. Feel free to vary the vegetables to suit your own family tastes and preferences. Sometimes I substitute the chorizo for some bacon lardons for very positive results.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
Strain into a large colander and run under some cold running water until the pasta has completely cooled down (this will stop the cooking process completely and stop the pasta from becoming overcooked whilst you are making the sauce)
Meanwhile heat a wide based pan with the oil and add in the prawns and cook for a moment or two. Season lightly with some salt and pepper. Next add in the diced chorizo and allow this to cook for a moment or two and allow the spice to come out of it.
Next add the peppers and onion with the garlic and continue to cook for a couple of moments until the vegetables have begun to soften.
Finally add the pouring cream, chilli flakes and the tinned tomatoes and allow this entire mixture to come to the boil. At this stage you can add in the spinach, grated parmesan and the cooked pasta
Allow the pasta to reheat completely and then divide between the serving dishes. Serve with some additional freshly grated parmesan and some garlic bread.
