Chances are that you like a yummy and spicy pasta, since you are here! And my spicy tomato chorizo pasta is just what you maybe looking for! And because it is also a very quick and easy recipe, it becomes all the more appealing. This pasta is something I make often for my weeknight dinners. After all, what more could you ask for if you have an under 30 minute recipe for dinner! You will of course need a sweet and spicy chorizo ring for this recipe, which is easily available in super markets. And also a tomato sauce. I make this very quick tomato pasta sauce for my chorizo pasta, which can also be used even otherwise for homemade pizzas and other pastas. So, that one is a keeper too! The sauce too is slightly spicy, as I have added both crushed black pepper and red chilli flakes in it. However, you can choose to omit any as per your taste.

My chorizo pasta is not very saucy, like you see in the picture. It just coats the pasta and the chorizo really well. And that is how I like it. Although, you could tweak the consistency of your pasta sauce as you like it. You could make it as saucy or as little to customise it.

Super easy and quick pasta

Now, while this may not be your classic one pot recipe, it surely is perfect for your weeknight meal. That is because, you can get going with all the parts of the delicious, spicy tomato chorizo pasta, simultaneously. For instance, while you set your pasta to cook, you can blitz your ingredients for the tomato sauce. Once that’s done, sauté the chorizo slices, the onions and garlic and add your cooked pasta to finally bring everything together. If you wish, you could also add some vegetables too, in this. Bell peppers, sweet corn, blanched broccoli or even mixed frozen veggies work very well. However, this time I haven’t added any.

Also, as far as choosing which pasta to use, you are the king. I had some shell pasta in hand so that’s what I have gone ahead and made. But you could make this with any that you have. I feel, penne, bow, macaroni and fusilli would be some of the other amazing options. Finally, garnish your yummy chorizo pasta with as much cheese as you like and a few basil leaves. Add some toasted or garlic bread on the side and enjoy this super delicious yet quick meal, fresh and hot!

If you like the recipe and give it a try, do let me know. I’d love to see pictures of how it turned out for you. You could tag me on them over on Instagram, too.

Eat hearty!
