Equipment
- Saucepan or Shallow Casserole Dish with a Lid
Ingredients
- 300 grams pasta I recommend a short shape like fusilli
- 150 grams cured chorizo sausage
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 400g tin of cherry tomatoes or chopped/diced tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves diced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 750 ml chicken stock or broth
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup grated parmesan optional
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to slit the filmy skin of the chorizo - it should then easily peel off. You don't NEED to do this, but when cooking I always prefer to. Slice the chorizo in half and then cut in to bite-sized chunks.150 grams cured chorizo sausage
- Heat your pan over a medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chorizo and onions and cook till the onion begins to soften and the chorizo releases its red oil. About 4 minutes, stirring regularly.1 red onion, sliced
- Add the diced garlic, bell pepper and rosemary and stir. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.1 bell pepper, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- Pour in the tin of tomato then stir in the pasta, making sure to coat it in the juices from the pan.300 grams pasta , 1 400g tin of cherry tomatoes
- Pour the stock into the pan and stir well.750 ml chicken stock
- Bring to the boil and place the lid on the pan. Allow to simmer for 10-14 minutes, until the pasta is cooked to your preference (check the packet instructions - some shapes take longer than others to cook). Give it a regular stir.
- If you prefer, you can cook for the final 2-3 minutes without the lid on to allow the sauce to reduce to your liking. Alternatively add more water if it is looking too dry.
- Stir in chopped fresh parsley and some grated cheese to serve.1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley , ¼ cup grated parmesan
Notes
- One tbsp fresh chopped rosemary is about one sprig. Remove the green leaves from the woody stalk and finely chop with a sharp knife. You can also substitute 1 tsp of dried.
