Method
- Heat oven to gas 8, 220°C, fan 200°C. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta following the packet instructions. Drain and set to one side.
- Heat a large dry ovenproof frying pan on a high heat and cook the chorizo for 3-4 mins, until the oils are released and it starts to crisp. Add the garlic and chicken and fry for 5 mins, to brown. Tip in both cans of tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then add ¾ of the oregano, ½ the basil, the soft cheese and some seasoning. Stir until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
- Add the pasta and mix well. Scatter on the Parmesan and mozzarella and the rest of the oregano. Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden brown and bubbling. Serve with the rest of the torn basil on top.
