Don’t you just love a good pasta dish? Good ol’ spag bol certainly has it’s uses as one of those easy dishes that everyone loves (in fact, spag bol is still one of my favourites that I make at least every couple of weeks), but sometimes it’s nice just to shake things up a little. Now this dish has everything going for it when you need to get something on the table quick, but you fancy something a bit different and special:
Penne pasta smothered in a rich and spicy arrabbiata sauce Gooey pieces of melty mozzarella Chunks of spicy chorizo Bell pepper slices, grilled/broiled until smoky and charred
It’s also just as quick to make as spag bol, which makes it a great choice for a mid-week meal. Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe. I’m also on YouTube (new videos every week) and Instagram (behind-the-scenes stories & beautiful food photos).
