This bean chorizo is fantastic, while bucatini is shaped like thick spaghetti with a hole running from one end to the other. As the garlicky 'chorizo' oil coats the pasta, the hole fills too.

Ingredients

3 courgettes, cut into batons
2 tbsp olive oil
100g Squeaky Bean Vegan Cooking Chorizo Style Sausage, thinly sliced
1 clove/s garlic, crushed
120g Fragata Marinated Stoneless Olives With Olive Oil, Garlic & Thyme, roughly chopped
300g Waitrose & Partners No.1 Bucatini
1 unwaxed lemon, zest and lemon
100g feta, crumbled
25g pack basil, leaves roughly chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Spread the courgettes out in a single layer on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and season, toss to coat and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until golden.
Meanwhile, heat a large frying or sauté pan with 1 tbsp oil over a medium-high heat, then add the ‘chorizo’. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the garlic and olives and fry, stirring for a couple of minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Set aside.
Boil the pasta according to pack instructions. Once al dente, transfer a ladleful of the cooking water to the ‘chorizo’ pan before draining the pasta. Tip the pasta into the ‘chorizo’ and put back over a medium-high heat. Toss the pasta around in the pan for a couple of minutes until the water evaporates and the pasta is glossy.
Once the courgettes are cooked, toss them through the pasta with the lemon juice, feta and basil, then season lightly – the olives and feta will be salty. Divide between bowls, scatter with the lemon zest and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.
