Tips
- Reserve your pasta water! Pasta water is filled with starch and salt which creates cloudy, murky water but is the key to a creamy sauce. Together the starch and the salt add flavour and depth to the pasta sauce as well as acting as a thickening agent.
- We like to look for chorizo that is just meat, spices and the casing as lots of brands are filled with additives and preservatives. This one is our personal favourite!
