Ingredients
- 150 g Rigatoni pasta
- 120 g Chorizo chopped into small pieces

Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states (for al dente).
- Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Cook the chorizo for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn crispy.
- Add the diced chicken and cook for a few minutes until it’s almost cooked through.
- Now add in the diced red onion and pepper. Cook for a minute then chuck in the chopped garlic. Cook for another minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock, then add in the tomato paste.
- Stir through the mascarpone, then season to taste.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, but save some of the pasta water to add to the sauce if it needs loosening up.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat. Toss through the basil, then it’s ready to dish up.
- Finish it with grated parmesan.

Loved this. My daughter actually messaged me to say how much she loved it which is unusual for her! I would add more chicken as two wasn’t quite enough for 4 people. All your recipes are amazing ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely love this so much. The flavour is amazing and i love the sauce, 10/10.
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make!! One of my favourites, although all of Jon’s recipes are a hit in our household!
This has become a weekly favourite – easy to make and absolutely delicious.
Super easy to make and very flavoursome. My husband reckons its restaurant quality and he’s not a fan of pasta. Will definitely make again. Going to try Mongolian chicken next and pre-order your book. Just wow 👌

So nice, I made this for the first time, I used 3 chicken fillets so increased the amount of chorizo and other ingredients and it was absolutely delicious, everyone that had it really liked it a lot so will definitely be making it again and the fresh basil really added to the flavour of the whole dish, thank you for the recipe

I made this recipe and found it really simple to follow and quick to make. (I swapped the mascarpone for crème fraise as it was all I had in but worked well) it was a hit with the whole family who said it was very tasty. It will be a regular dish at our house now!
