This is the perfect quick dinner. Sweet cherry tomatoes mixed with smoky, spicy Chorizo sausage , with a hint of garlic and basil. Fast, filling and tasty!
Ingredients (serves 2)
175-200g Dried Rigatoni pasta (depends how hungry/enormous you are)
1 tin of cherry tomatoes.
1/3 of a Chorizo Picante - chopped roughly
Half an onion - chopped finely
2 Garlic cloves - minced
1tsp of smoked paprika
Half a glass of red wine (optional)
Handful of basil leaves - torn
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp of olive oil
Method -
1 - Cook the pasta as per the instructions on the pack.
2 - Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, then add the onion and fry until it softens and becomes translucent. Add the garlic and chorizo and cook until the oil comes out of the sausage.
3 - Add the smoked paprika and stir well. If using the wine, add it now, and cook down until only a third of the liquid remains.
4 - Add the cherry tomatoes, and stir well, breaking them up gently with your spoon. Cook down for 4-5 minutes.
5 - Salt & pepper to taste, then add the basil leaves. Mix well and add the pasta to the sauce. Stir through and serve! A bit of shaved parmesan on top works really well, or a splash of chilli oil and plenty of black pepper.
Note - you can change the chorizo for halved button mushrooms for a veggie option, as the smoked paprika will still give you that lovely smokey taste.
