Chilli Chorizo Pasta

Chilli Chorizo Pasta

This is going be how to make a super easy Pasta dish. The ingredients for this are cheap and easily accessible.

You will need:
Tomato and Chilli Pasta sauce (I used the Loyd Grossman one)
Chorizo (Fit the amount to go with how many your cooking for)
Penne Pasta (Chilli version) From Sainsbury's
1 or 2 Peppers (depending on amount of people)
2 onions
Sunflower oil
Celery 1or 2 sticks *Optional*
Mushrooms 4 medium sized closed cup white mushrooms
Cheddar cheese *Optional*
A wok
A saucepan

Below shows you the ingredients I used:


First of all, I started by cutting up the onion, pepper, mushrooms and celery.
You can adapt this to fit the portion sizes you want (I did this for 3 people)


I then put these into a bowl and to one side, out of the way.

Next, the SPECIAL ingredient Chorizo. The first picture shows it before being cut up, the second all cut up and ready to go into the pan.


In to the pan it goes, with some sunflower oil, Leave it on a medium temperature. You'll be able to tell when its cooked enough by the change in colour and texture.


The next step is to add the onions, mushrooms, peppers and celery into the pan, adding some more sunflower oil if necessary. On the left it shows them when first put into the pan. On the right it shows them when cooked.

Now we put the chilli penne pasta into a different sauce pan on a high heat for 10-12 minutes, then turn down to a lower temperature after that.


After that we add in the sweetcorn (you can see the penne cooking at the side)

 

Next add the Tomato and Chilli pasta sauce in


This is the finished dish, you can add grated cheddar cheese at this point but I decided not to as I'm trying to eat healthier recently.
 
Thanks for reading :)
