Creamy Chorizo Pasta
Rich, indulgent, and oh-so-flavoursome, this Creamy Chorizo Pasta is your next go-to comfort meal! Imagine smoky chorizo tossed with al dente pasta, all coated in a velvety cream sauce with a hint of garlic and parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 Chorizo cut into half-moons
- 1/2 Red onion diced
- 1 Garlic clove crushed
- 1 Tbsp Tomato paste
- 1/2 cup Chicken stock
- 250 ml Thickened cream
- 250 g Farfalle
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the farfalle according to the packet instructions, undercooking it by 1 minute. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over low-medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add the chorizo and cook for another 5 minutes until it crisps slightly.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add chicken stock and thyme. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly and combine the flavours.
- Pour in thickened cream and stir to combine. Simmer on medium-low for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, adding reserved pasta water if needed.
- Add the drained farfalle to the pan and toss gently to coat in the sauce. Stir carefully, adjusting with pasta water if necessary, until the sauce clings perfectly.
- Divide the pasta into serving bowls and top with fresh parsley and grated parmesan. Serve immediately and enjoy!
