This chorizo pasta recipe is fast, easy, and has only a handful of ingredients! It’s alert in about 30 minutes.

This is a genuinely simple pasta dish that’s great when you just want some sausage, pasta, and a simple tomato sauce. It’s not fancy, and the chorizo genuinely shines through.

I added a 1/2 cup of cream to this recipe because I find that it helps cut some of the acidity of the tomatoes and heat of the chorizo… it’s a kind way to balance it all out. 

Garlic and onions provide some more layers of flavor, and there ya go… there’s like 6 ingredients in here. I chose them wisely. 😛

I know someone is going to ask me whether they can use a dwhetherferent kind of sausage in here. Yeah, that’s fine haha. Yes, you may sub an entirely dwhetherferent kind of sausage and it’ll be yummy. 

I used a spicy chorizo, but there are definitely gentleer ones out there that you could use. 

I’m a pretty large chorizo fan, so naturally I have more chorizo and pasta recipes on here.

Simple Chorizo Pasta

This chorizo pasta recipe is fast, easy, and has only a handful of ingredients! It's alert in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (8.8 ounce) coil chorizo sausage cut into small pieces
• 1/2 small onion chopped finely
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 (14 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
• 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Newly grated parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

1. Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook it until al dente according to package directions.

2. Prep your chorizo and onion.

3. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-tall heat, add the olive oil and chorizo and fry it until it starts to get crispy (around 7 minutes).

4. Add the onion and cook it until it's softened (about 5 minutes).

5. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, and cream. Let the sauce cook for another 5 minutes or so, or until the sauce is reduced to your liking. Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed.

6. Throw with the pasta and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese whether desired.

Recipe Notes

• You can either use a gentle or spicy chorizo - it's up to you. Anyleang in the ballpark of 8.8 ounces will work. You can use partially or fully cured chorizo... it'll all taste good.
• If you use half-and-half or milk instead of cream, the sauce may separate bit (or look grainy), but it should still taste good.
