One of my favourite slow cooker recipes EVER. I hope you love it as much as I do. It is higher in calories than most of my recipes but the taste is worth it. However, you could reduce the calories by using soft cream cheese instead of cream.

Method

Step 1

If you have time, heat a nonstick frying pan over a high heat on the hob, then place the chorizo in the pan and sear until just browned all over. If you’re in a hurry, just skip this step.

Step 2

Place the chorizo, chicken, pesto, sundried tomatoes, garlic, basil and 150ml of the chicken stock in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on high for 2½ hours. Add the pasta and remaining stock and cook for another 45 minutes, stirring after 30 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the cream and spinach – the spinach will wilt really quickly into the sauce. Sprinkle the pasta with grated Parmesan. Remember to pick up a copy of Slow Cooker Even Easier for more tasty slow cooker recipes like this.
