Chorizo Sausage Pasta Recipe


Ingredients:
Pasta (any amount you like)
2 decent size chorizo (or just one large one)
8 tomatoes
6 cloves of garlic
Chopped up rosemary (as much as you like)
1/4 cup of cream
100g Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Ground pepper
Salt


I saw this on Market Kitchen show and decided to give it a go. First we are going to start up a pot of boiling water and throw in the pasta. After it is cooked drain the water and set the pasta aside.

Next we are going to peel the tomatoes. In order for the skin on the tomatoes to come off easily we need to boil them for about 3-5 minutes. Take the tomatoes out of the water and make a cut in each one. Now pull the skin off, it should come off with relative ease.

Next we chop the tomatoes into quarter slices. Pre-heat a frying pan on medium heat and pour into it some olive oil. Next throw in the tomatoes and some chopped garlic and leave on medium heat for about 5 minutes. After this time the tomatoes should begin to break down and it will look almost like a uniform, thick mixture.

The next step is to chop up the chorizo sausages into slices about 5mm thick. Now throw the sausage slices into the frying pan with the tomatoes and the garlic. Next chop up some rosemary and throw it into the frying pan. Then we add about one quarter cup of cream, and the 100g of Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together and add salt and pepper to taste. Leave the pan on simmer for about 10 minutes. Our chorizo sauce is now complete. Next throw the pasta into the sauce and mix well. The dish is now ready to be served.

This is probably the yummiest pasta dish I have made so far. The chorizo sausages give off an amazing flavour, which is soaked in by the entire sauce mixture.
