• 350 grams of pasta
• 300 grams chorizo sausage diced
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 2 dl chicken or vegetable broth
• 200 g frozen peas
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp of salt

Instructions

 

Cook the Pasta:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
• Drain the pasta and set it aside.

In the meantime cook the Chorizo:

• In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the chorizo sausage and cook until it’s browned and slightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove chorizo from the pan and set it aside.

Sauté Onions and Garlic:

• Add the minced garlic and dried oregano, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Peas and Broth:

• Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
• Stir in the pan the frozen peas. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Combine Pasta and Chorizo:

• Return the cooked chorizo to the pan and mix it with the sauce.

Season and Finish:

• Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Place Chorizo Pasta dishes on plates.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
