Chorizo Chilli Pepper Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir ground beef and chorizo sausage into onion mixture; cook, breaking meat apart while stirring, until no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix ground beef-chorizo mixture, diced tomatoes, chili, butter beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, chipotle seasoning blend, salt, and black pepper in a slow cooker.
• Cook on High until flavors have blended, 3 to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and chorizo over medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is crisp and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a plate.
• Return the pot to medium heat and add the tomato paste and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste is caramelized and a shade darker, 3 to 5 minutes, covering the pan if the splattering is wild. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper, then remove from heat.
• Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the tomato mixture. Return the pot to the medium-high heat, and stir vigorously until the pasta is well coated. Add more pasta water until the sauce is glossy. Stir in the chorizo and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chorizo and saute 2 to 3 minutes or until both sides are slightly brown and crisp around the edges. With a slotted spoon transfer sausages to a bowl and set aside. Add the onions, mushrooms and peppers to the remaining fat in the skillet and cook, stirring continuously until the onions and peppers are somewhat tender, about 3 minutes. Add the caraway seeds, water and cooked chorizo. Cover and simmer over low heat until peppers and onions are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the mixture on occasion so that it does not scorch. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot off heat. Add the chorizo mixture and sour cream and toss the ingredients together. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately garnished with parsley.
