1 Chorizo sausage
200 g Mince
800 g Roma Tomatoes or San Marzano Tomatoes (or 2 2 cans of 400g chopped chunky tomatoes) – see note above
70 g Tomato puree
1 Onion Chopped
3 cloves Garlic Chopped
1 Red pepper Chopped
1 tbsp Fresh basil leaves Chopped - see note above
1 tbsp Fresh Oregano Chopped
1 tbsp Parsley Chopped - optional
Salt and Pepper

Cut the Chorizo sausage into slices. Add into a saucepan and fry. No need to add olive oil beforehand as the sausage contains enough oil. Then add the mince and fry until brown.
Add the chopped onion, garlic and pepper and continue to fry until the onion becomes clear.
Lastly add the basil & oregano, fry for about 30 seconds and then add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree.
Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes on low heat. Which will give you time to prepare your chosen pasta.
Put pasta on a plate and cover with the chorizo sauce. And (optionally) sprinkle the parsley on top
