Instructions

Put the pasta on to boil while preparing the sauce.
Heat a dry saucepan. Add the chorizo. Enough oil will come out of it so you don't need extra oil. Cook it for about 5 minutes till it browns. Remove the chorizo from the pan.
Cook the vegetables in the oil from the chorizo. If there is too much oil in the pan then drain a little of it away before adding the vegetables.
When the pasta is ready, drain it and add it to the pan with the vegetables, along with the chorizo too. Add the creme fraiche and stir well. Serve immediately.
