Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions in a large pan of boiling water. 3-4 minutes before the pasta is ready, add the purple sprouting broccoli. -
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large pan and add the chorizo. -
Step 3
Fry on a medium heat until the chorizo is cooked and has released its paprika-coloured juices (it may start to break up, this is normal). -
Step 4
Drain the pasta and purple sprouting broccoli, reserving a little of the pasta water. Add them to the chorizo pan with the chicken and a tablespoon or two of the pasta cooking water. -
Step 5
Gently heat through to warm the chicken. Add the chopped parsley, if using and season to taste before serving.
