Ingredients
- 200 g Rigatoni or any shape of pasta
- 200 g Chorizo cut into small chunks
- 1 Red pepper diced
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 200 ml Chicken stock
- 140 g Cream cheese
- 20 g Basil torn
- Parmesan to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states.
- In a large frying pan, heat a small amount of cooking oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo for about 4-5 minutes, until it starts to turn crispy.
- Add in the red pepper and cool for a minute, then add in the tomato paste and paprika and cook for a further minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock, then let it simmer and reduce slightly. Once the pasta is al dente, drain it, but keep some pasta water behind.
- Add the pasta into the pan and toss to coat. Add in the cream cheese and fresh basil and stir it well. If the sauce needs loosening up a bit, then add some of the pasta water.
- Taste for seasoning, then dish it up and finish with some grated parmesan. Enjoy.
