Method
- Set aside 8 chorizo slices, then chop the rest into small pieces. Heat 2 tsp oil in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Fry the chopped chorizo for 3-4 mins until golden. Add the onion and carrot and cook for 8 mins or until softened, lowering the heat if it starts browning too quickly.
- Add the garlic and cook for a further 1-2 mins until fragrant, then add the stock. Season and simmer for 10 mins until the carrot is tender. Meanwhile, blitz the remaining oil, basil and lemon juice to a fairly smooth pesto, adding 1 tbsp water if needed to loosen.
- Cook the remaining chorizo in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 1-2 mins each side until crispy; set aside. Add the tortelloni and the lemon zest to the soup and cook for 3 mins until the pasta is just cooked. Divide among bowls, then top with the chorizo and pesto.
