Last minute Zucchini and Chorizo Pasta.

You know when you haven't been to the shop for a while and you look in the fridge and the cupboards and at first it doesn't look like anything is there? This is when you have to get creative. Tonight was a little like that. I ended up finding one tomato in the bottom drawer of the fridge, a zucchini from my garden (which Coco had eaten about a quarter of) and three chorizo in the freezer, oh and some gluten free pasta. I had to improvise with garlic out of a jar instead of fresh cloves, and luckily we had parmesan which you can pretty much put on anything and it gives it an instant make over. So dinner was a success and it was so cool using up little bits and pieces of ingredients and not wasting food, i love that. Here is my recipe for the pasta:

Gluten free pasta (enough for two)

1 Vine tomato sliced

1 Zucchini sliced

A big handful of basil chopped

3 Chorizo sausages

Olive oil

1 Tsp crushed garlic (real garlic would be better)

Parmesan

Salt and Pepper

Heat oil in a pan and add garlic, throw in the chorizo and cook for a few minutes then add the tomato and zucchini. Cook for another few minutes and then stir through the cooked pasta, add the basil in at the last minute and top with parmesan ! Add salt and pepper to taste. Ta da.
