Notes
Always check the ingredients of your chorizo, as some varieties contain milk. Most supermarket cooking chorizo is dairy free, but it's always worth checking the label. Better still, if you have a good local butcher, ask them to make some for you.
If you prefer a saucier pasta dish, simply increase the quantities of the ingredients to suit your taste. Extra tomatoes will create more sauce, while additional avocado and chorizo will make the dish even more generous and flavourful.
