Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Boil the kettle.  
• Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of 
salt. Cook penne over high heat until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain penne and return to  
the saucepan.  

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the chorizo
2

• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes (see ingredients). 
• Finely chop mild chorizo.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook chorizo and sliced leek tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes. 

Cook the sauce
3

• Add tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
• Add cream (see ingredients), garlic & herb seasoning and cook, stirring,  
1 minute.
• Add cooked penne and reserved pasta water and cook, tossing, until 
combined, 1 minute.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Finish & serve
4

• In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then 
season to taste. Add tomatoes and rocket leaves and toss to coat. Sprinkle 
with half the grated Parmesan cheese.
• Divide creamy chorizo and leek penne between bowls.
• Serve with cherry tomato and rocket salad and garnish with remaining 
Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
