3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

500g pork mince

1 brown onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 Tbsp dried oregano

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

125ml white wine

700g passata (tomato puree)

¼ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Method

Put 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork, onion, garlic and oregano, then cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until browned. Season. Pour in wine and bring to the boil; simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed, then stir in passata. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook orecchiette following packet directions in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well and add to mince mixture along with parsley.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small frying pan over high heat and cook chorizo for about 5 minutes, stirring until golden brown. Stir chorizo into pasta.

Serve pasta topped with bocconcini, chilli flakes and basil.
