Gotta love one pan pasta meals, both for the lack of washing up, and the speed that you can throw them together! Most of my one pot dishes involve adding things in a step at a time - until the dish is complete, but I’m going to fess up here. I cook the chorizo first, take it out of the pan, and add it back in at the end. So yes, that does mean one extra dirty dish. There’s just no other way to ensure the chorizo is perfectly cooked - you know, a little bit crispy, with lots of flavour. The problem with frying chorizo and adding it in with the sauce and pasta to continue cooking, is that the salty-spicy flavour leaches out into the rest of the sauce, leaving the chorizo a bit flavourless and chewy. Sprinkle with extra parmesan, a little black pepper and some fresh parsley before serving. I love the addition of fresh tomatoes to this dish. I add them just before serving. My kids don’t really like cooked whole/halved tomatoes, but they love them raw, so this always goes down a treat.
