This chicken and chorizo bolognese recipe is one of my own. I'd never seen chicken mince in the supermarket until recently when I saw it in a local Lidl. I bought a pack which ended up in the freezer for a couple of weeks until I decided what to do with it
I spent some time googling 'chicken mince recipes' and came up with this Spanish twist on an Italian classic! Chicken and chorizo are a delicious combination and as I had some cooking chorizo in the fridge it was a no brainer to add it to the recipe.
The end result is a bolognese that is lighter than the traditional version, but it's full of flavour and is a recipe that will definitely be made again and again...just for something a bit different.
Tips
- Make ahead – make the bolognese the day before, let it cool and store in the fridge overnight, or make it earlier in the day for that night. Gently reheat on the hob while the pasta is cooking.
- This chicken and chorizo bolognese recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
