Chorizo & Green Bean Ragù – a delicious sauce served on a bed of spaghetti! A quick and tasty midweek meal the family will love!
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, green pepper, and some chorizo that needed to be used 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?

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 🙂
