  4. Whilst frypan is heating up dice onion, capsicum, crushed garlic, then add to the pan, cook for 2 minutes
  5. Whilst that is cooking, slice the chorizos into thin slices then add to frypan and cook for 2 minutes

  8. Add pasta mixture to an oiled baking dish, top with cheese and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is golden.

Notes

  • If you’re short on time, you don’t need to bake this as it is already cooked, just sprinkle cheese on top and enjoy!!!
  • This freezes and defrosts extremely well too.
