spicy chorizo pan lasagne


I have been menu planning lately and I have found it has saved me a lot of time  and money at the shops. I     have been tending to cook new dishes as I am now looking through magazines and cook books for inspiration.  Three nights a week we need quick meals as we get home from swimming late and hit the ground running. This spicy chorizo pan lasagne     was really tasty and everyone loved it.

  • ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 x 100g dried firm chorizo, cases removed and processed into mince
