Gihan's Fruity Penne with Chorizo

Here's a delightful meal I whipped up this lunchtime. It was very scrummy, so I thought I would share it. The recipe below is for two people.

You will need:

• one chorizo sausage
• 200g penne
• two nectarines
• a handful of corriander

Boil the penne according to the packet instructions. While you're doing this, slice and skin the chorizo (the slices should be about 5mm in thickness). Fry them gently in a little olive oil. Slice the nectarines and cut each slice in half. Coarsely chop the corriander.

When the penne is boiled, drain it and add to a warmed plate. Add the chorizo and drizzle the chorizo oil over the pasta. Add the sliced nectarines and corriander. Season with a little salt and pepper.

This dish is delicious with a nice herb salad consisting of baby spinach, roquette, corriander, lollo rosso, chives, and frisee. For a light dressing, just add a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt.
