Chorizo Tomato Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Cook chorizo until slightly crispy.
• Add the onions and cook until translucent.
• Add the beef, salt, and pepper, cooking until no pink is showing.
• Pour in the tomato sauce, and cook until sauce thickens.
• Add the pasta, parmesan, and basil, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated.
• Enjoy!

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:

• Slice the chorizo lengthways then into thin semi circular slices. Fry this in a pan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until the chorizo is crispy. No oil is needed as the oil will come out of the chorizo once hot.
• Empty the crisped chorizo out of the pan using a slotted spoon. Leave the oil in the pan
• Fry the onions in the chorizo oil, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Fry for around 15 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and chilli (if using this) and fry for another 5 minutes.
• Empty the tin of chopped tomatoes into the pan. Turn the heat down. Add the Italian herbs and season well with salt & pepper. Add a little extra water if the sauce looks too thick. Leave this to cook for 15 minutes with the lid on whilst the pasta is cooking.
• Cook the pasta as instructed on the packaging. Either add to the pan and mix with the sauce. Or spoon the sauce over the top of the pasta. Serve with a Garlic Baguette.
