Chef Michael’s pastas bravas is a twist on the Spanish classic, patatas bravas. It uses the smoky and spicy tomato sauce which is usually drizzled over potatoes, but in this recipe, the sauce accompanies Cappellacci pasta. These pasta “hats” are filled with sundried tomato and aubergine and, together with chorizo and green beans, create a sensational dinner that’s perfect when you want something speedy yet delicious!
