Servings: 2 people
Calories: 1106kcal
Ingredients
- 1 white onion finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 150 g chorizo finely cubed
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 750 ml chicken stock I used 1 chicken stock cube + 750ml boiling water
- 200 g dried pasta
- 200 ml cream single or heavy (up to you!)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 25 g parmesan grated
- 5 g chives finely sliced
Instructions
- Place a deep skillet/frying pan on medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add in the garlic and onion and fry for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Once the onion and garlic have softened, add in the chorizo and fry for a further 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the paprika, dried oregano, 500ml of chicken stock (save the rest if you need it) and pasta (you want the pasta to just be covered by the liquid). Place on the lid and leave to simmer away for 8-10 minutes (until al dente) stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick. Make sure to add in more stock if the pasta is sticking to the base of the pan and there's a lack of liquid.
- Remove the lid of the pan and add in the cream and the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper according to your preferences. Stir to combine and leave to simmer for a couple of minutes for the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Once the chorizo pasta is to your desired sauciness, divide between two bowls and top with grated parmesan and finely chopped chives. I hope you enjoy!
