Chorizo & Green Bean Ragù – a delicious sauce served on a bed of spaghetti! A tasty midweek meal the family will love!

Chorizo & Green Bean Ragù - Fab Food 4 All

You may or may not be following my social media but if you do you will have seen my various fruit and vegetable bargains which I have been enjoying by just changing the time I go shopping.

The result has been that we are eating a diet packed full of vegetables as lunchtimes tend to be veggie soups and dinner times are geared around what vegetables I have to hand. So my Chorizo & Green Bean Ragù was born as I had a packet of stringless green beans, a green pepper and some chorizo that needed using up! I hope I haven’t upset any Italians by calling this a ragù as Chorizo is Spanish so this dish is a fusion of cuisines!

I served the ragù on a bed of spaghetti and it went down extremely well with the whole family. Quick, tasty, delicious and nutritious, what more could you want from a dish?

Coco didn’t seem impressed with this dish as she doesn’t like spicy food!

As this dish uses seasonal stringless green beans I’m entering it into Simple and in Season run by Ren Behan as well as Extra Veg which is run by Fuss Free Flavours and Utterly Scrummy and being hosted by Jen’s Food this month. Finally I’m entering Pasta Please run by Tinned Tomatoes and this month hosted by A Mummy Too.

    Such a great twist on a classic, I sometimes get bored of the everyday things like chilli or casserole so its great to throw a few new things in there to perk it up 🙂
