Cauliflower penne with chorizo, lemon & hazelnuts

Cauliflower penne with chorizo, lemon & hazelnuts

This dish is elevated by the smokey, free range chorizo which pairs beautifully with the fresh basil and hazelnuts. The tender cauliflower is a nice change from the usual chicken or prawns you may use in your pasta dishes.
