For the last few days I have had some spare chorizo staring me in the face every time I opened the fridge and so mentally, I've gone from one meal idea to another. And because I had a tub of quark in need of using up, tonight I settled on a Chicken & Chorizo Pasta Bake.
So here is my version. For something low fat, I think it is close enough for version when substituting a calorific single cream version with a fat-free soft cheese.
It serves 4 very generous portions.
