Equipment
- Large frying pan
- Sharp knife
- Chopping board
- Wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 225 g chorizo ring
- 2 courgettes
- 50 ml white wine
- 200 ml single cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the chorizo ring in half lengthways, then cut into thin half-moon slices. Slice the courgettes in the same way.
- Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook gently for about 5 minutes until the chorizo releases its oils and begins to turn golden.
- Add the courgettes and cook for another 6–8 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the white wine and allow it to bubble away until reduced by roughly half.
- Turn the heat down to low and stir through the single cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and black pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of water or a little extra cream.

Notes
Taste before adding salt – chorizo can already be quite salty.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water, pasta cooking water or extra cream.
This sauce is best served straight away while hot and silky.
Try stirring it through pasta, pouring it over chicken or fish, or serving it with crusty bread for dipping.
