slow-cooked fusilli with bacon, chicken & chorizo

In a fit of random culinary adventuring tonight, I accidentally made something awesome: slow-cooked fusilli pasta with bacon, chicken & chorizo. It was ridiculously easy to make and very tasty; and if you don't have a slow cooker, you could probably just let it all simmer in one big pot on a low setting. 

Ingredients 

3 rashers bacon

2 chicken breasts

1 chorizo ring

2 courgettes

1 tin chickpeas

1 tin butter beans

1 tin crushed tomatoes

2 brown onions

1 cube beef stock

dash of dark soy 

dash of worstershire sauce

3/4 pack of fusilli pasta

red pesto

tomato paste

crushed garlic

chilli powder

lemon juice

Recipe

Rough-chop the onions, bacon, chicken and chorizo, then brown in a pan with garlic, lemon juice and chilli.

Add the butter beans and chickpeas; stir so the juices soak in.

Put the lot in the slow cooker with the crushed tomatoes.

Rough chop the courgettes and add them to the mix. 

Mix the soy, worstershire and beef stock with a cup and a half of boiling water; when the stock is fully dissolved, add to the slow cooker.

Boil the fusilli in a saucepan until just soft, then add to the slow cooker; add in a little more water and lemon juice if you want to.

Add the tomato paste and a few spoons of red pesto to the lot and stir.

Leave to cook on high for an hour or so, give it a stir, then drop it down to low for however long you want.

Enjoy!

The result is a thick, tasty pasta mix that'll do for at least five servings, depending on how big you like your meals. Definitely one of my better experiments!
