Spicy Chorizo Pasta Recipe

Updated: 5 days ago

Hello everyone! I am slowly adding my recipes to the blog and hope you all try them out today. The other day I made a very Spicy Chorizo Pasta (that I put way too much chilli in) but it was delish!



Love some parmesan cheese!


Pasta with Parmesean

Serves 2!


Ingredients


  • 1 x packet of pasta of your choice (I just used what was in the pantry - both white and wholemeal pasta was in this)

  • Half a can of passata (or any pasta sauce)

  • 2 x chorizo sausages - I used Miguel Maestre's

  • 2-3 cloves of garlic

  • A handful of cherry tomatoes (or a big tomato diced)

  • 1 x brown onion

  • 1 x green capsicum

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp chilli

  • A dash of lemon juice

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • Cheese (grated)

  • Parmesan cheese for decoration

  • Oil and Butter for frying

  • Fresh parsley (for decoration - optional)



Method


Step 1: Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and leave until you are ready to add the pasta.


Step 2: Prep your veges! Chop the garlic and onion and brown off in a frying pan with some oil and butter. While browning, chop your chorizo into small slices, then add to the fry pan and cook (about 7 mins each side or until nice and brown). While browning, chop your capsicum and any other veges you want to add in.


Step 3: Once the chorizo is cooked, add in your chopped capsicum then put your pasta into your boiling water and simmer (usually about 11-12 minutes - follow the instructions on the packet and add 1-2 minutes to get the perf al dente pasta). Add salt to the boiling water.


Step 4: Add in your passata/pasta sauce to your frying pan (make sure you've already turned the heat down once the meat is cooked), then add in the cherry tomatoes (chopped in half), a dash of lemon juice, salt, pepper, chilli, paprika, cayenne pepper, and turmeric. Simmer until the pasta is cooked.


Step 5: Once your pasta is cooked, drain out the water and add to the fry pan and mix into the pasta sauce. Add a bit of grated cheese at this stage. Take off the heat and let sit for about 2 minutes.


Step 6: Serve on your plates and add some parmesan cheese and parsley (optional). You could also add in some extra chilli flakes if you want to make it extra spicy.


Step 7: Enjoy!
