Creamy Chorizo Pasta
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 pack San Remo Curly Fettuccine Pasta
2 chorizo sausages, diced
1 red onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tsp Coles fennel seeds
1 tsp Coles smoked paprika
3 tbsp Coles tomato paste
1 cup cream
3 tbsp butter
Parmesan cheese, grated
Coles sea salt
Coles black pepper
Method
In a frying pan, add the diced chorizo and place over medium heat. Cook gently until the chorizo starts to render and release its oil. Add the diced red onion and cook until softened, then add the garlic and fennel seeds. Stir in the smoked paprika and tomato paste, frying for about 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Add the cream and a knob of butter to the chorizo mixture, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly simmer until the sauce thickens.
Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it to the pan with the sauce and toss everything together. Finish with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese, and season with Coles sea salt and black pepper to taste.
