Cooking Steps
Boil a kettle of water. Add the boiling water to a medium saucepan. Cook the fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
While the fusilli is cooking, roughly chop the chorizo. Heat drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
While the chorizo is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes.
When you're ready to pack lunch, stir the red pesto, chorizo, cherry tomatoes and baby spinach leaves through the cooked fusilli. Season to taste. Divide the pasta between two microwave-safe containers. Refrigerate. At lunchtime, heat in the microwave until piping hot, 2-3 minutes. Crumble with the cheese to serve.
