Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season and transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Cook orecchiette in the boiling water until 'al dente', 8 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain orecchiette, then return to the pan. • Meanwhile, thinly slice leek into rounds. Slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop onion and mild chorizo.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chorizo, tossing, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add leek, carrot and onion and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add cream (see ingredients) and the butter. Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Add orecchiette and reserved pasta water, stir to combine and simmer until slightly reduced, 1 minute. • Add baby spinach leaves and stir to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy chorizo and leek orecchiette between bowls. • Top with garlic pangrattato to serve. Enjoy!
