Spanish Pasta Bake
This recipe uses two Spanish delicacies serrano ham and chorizo both of which can be found on the delicatessen counter. Serrano cured ham has a mild yet distinctive flavour that lends itself to many dishes such as casseroles or it can be simply enjoyed on its own. Chorizo is a spicy red paprika sausage that can be eaten cold or added to pasta, soups and stews. Chorizo comes pre-sliced and, as in this recipe, sliced to order. Add as much or as little as you like in this recipe.
