Leny's Favourite Things- Spicy Chorizo and Chickpea Pasta

I was watching Oprah the other day. It was the episode on " Oprah's Favourite Things ".

It was amazing to see the gifts she gave to the audience. I wish I was one of them.
I have to admit that I really like Oprah. I think she's real, generous and has such a heart to give to others.

So when it comes to MY Favourite things, I have heapssss......
Im greedy....=)....I won't go into all the details.

But I'm going to share one of my favourite pasta dish with you today.

This dish can be included as one my favourite meal. As I am currently away from home working at Ballarat, I'm only cooking for myself. So I often cook those one pot meals that are quick , easy and yummylicious. This is one of them.

The combination of spicy chorizo and the tomato sauce is just perfect for me.
