Macaroni with chorizo recipe.

Chorizo is one of the ingredients more widely used in Spanish cooking. It can be eaten raw (once cured), but it can also be cooked in many different ways, added to stews, grilled, fried… The paprika in the chorizo dilutes in the oil or sauces, providing a very special colour and tempting flavour.

This is a simple and delicious recipe, in which chorizo is used to add lots of flavour to a pasta dish. Macaroni are ideal, but any other pasta shape can be used.

Ingredients (serves 4):

–         300 g  macaroni, or other pasta shape

–         200 g chorizo for cooking

–         100 g onion

–         400 g tomato sauce

–         Parmesan for sprinkling

–         Extra virgin olive oil by MARISCAL&SARROCA

Bring 2l water to the boil. Add 2 tsp salt, a drizzle of olive oil and the macaroni, stirring occasionally during cooking.

While the pasta is cooking, heat two tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Chop the onion very finely and soften in the oil. Add the chorizo cut into 1 cm cubes. Cook for 1-2 minutes and add the tomato sauce. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Drain the macaroni and pour the chorizo sauce over them. Mix well and serve sprinkled with the parmesan.

Enjoy! 😀
