Method

Step 1 of 4

To make kale pesto, place kale (reserving a few leaves to garnish), grated parmesan, capers, garlic clove and lemon zest and juice in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Season to taste and transfer to a bowl.

Step 2 of 4

Cook pasta according to the packet instructions. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of cooking liquid. Return pasta to pan and drizzle with a little extra oil. Set aside.

Step 3 of 4

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion and chorizo, turning and stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until golden. Add vinegar, beans and tomato. Season to taste and warm through for 1 minute.

Step 4 of 4

Add pesto, reserved cooking liquid and chorizo and bean mixture to cooked pasta and toss to combine. Divide between bowls. Garnish with reserved kale and serve with a green salad, if you like. Note: If you can't get Quinoa Rigatoni, Gluten Free Pasta is a suitable substitute.
