Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Peel and finely slice the red onions. Trim both ends off the green beans and cut in half.
2. TO COOK THE PASTA AND GREEN BEANS:
Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and blanch for 2–3 mins until just tender. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and set aside. Using your hands, gently loosen the strands of fresh GF tagliatelle. Add to the same pot and cook for 2–3 mins or until al dente. Reserve 2 Tbsp of pasta water, then drain well and drizzle with a little oil to stop from sticking.
3. TO COOK THE CHORIZO MIXTURE:
Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the chorizo grind and red onions, cook for 4–5 mins, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon until browned.
4. TO FINISH THE PASTA:
Add the tarragon cream sauce and reserved pasta water, stirring until warmed through. Add the tagliatelle, green beans, and baby spinach, tossing gently for 1–2 mins until the spinach just wilts and everything is coated in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the creamy chorizo tagliatelle into bowls. Top with the truffled almonds, shaved Parmesan and a grind of black pepper.
