20 Minute Chorizo Pasta
I like cooking this dish when I get home late after work or if I’m just feeling lazy. I once completed it in just under 20 minutes so it’s definitely possible! This recipe makes a big batch, so I usually freeze about 1/3 of the sauce since it keeps really well.
This is NOT a fussy recipe so quantities are variable - if you like extra meat you can add more chorizo, if don’t like heat then you can skip the chili etc. If you want to get it done in 20 minutes, you will need to be comfortable with cooking a few things at the same time, namely pasta and the sauce, but this is so easy and nothing to worry about!
The timings are as such:
• 00:00 - de-skin half the chorizo and chop the rest
- boil pot of salted water for the pasta
• 00:01 - fry chorizo until it has some colour
- prep aromatics- garlic, chili and rosemary
• 00:05 - add aromatics, cook until fragrant
• 00:06 - add tomatoes and cream, simmer
• 00:08 - add pasta to boiling water
• 00:09 - chop parsley and grate Parmesan
• 00:16 - add Parmesan and parsley to sauce
• 00:18 - check pasta for doneness
• 00:19 - add pasta to sauce
And you’re done!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat a large pot on medium heat with 1-2tbsp oil (vegetable or olive is fine). Boil some heavily salted water for the pasta. De-skin half the sausages and break into small pieces, and chop the other half into bitesize chunks.
- 2
Begin frying the chorizo to get some color. Whilst it fries, mince the garlic into a bowl with the finely chopped garlic and chili. Once the chorizo has colour (3-5 minutes), dump the aromatic mixture in and cook until fragrant.
- 3
Add the tomatoes and cream to the pot pot. 2 minutes later, add the pasta to the boiling water. Lightly simmer both for 8 minutes (for a total of 10 minutes simmering for the sauce). Whilst they cook, chop parsley and grate some cheese into separate bowls.
- 4
Once the 8 minutes has passed, take sauce off the heat, add the Parmesan and parsley to the sauce and mix well. Test the pasta for doneness to your preference. Remove 1/3 of the sauce for freezing, and add the pasta to the rest along with some pasta water. Alternatively you can serve the sauce separately from the pasta.

Slow cooker Parmesan garlic chicken my way Slow cooker Parmesan garlic chicken my way
❤️ Typically made with the buffalo wild wings Parmesan garlic sauce but I find using sweet baby rays Parmesan garlic sauce is the best but feel free to use what you like and I added the broccoli and again if you don't like it leave it out or you can try chopped Spinach if you like. I did add a pack of ranch seasoning and use a rotisserie chicken because it adds great flavor and I normally serve this with garlic bread.

Easy and Authentic Pasta in Tuna Tomato Sauce Easy and Authentic Pasta in Tuna Tomato Sauce
I don't like the flavor of tomato that much, but I love this pasta sauce.Each time I make this, I'm impressed every time that this flavor can be achieved in such a short time.The amount of salt to add depends on how much bacon you add, so taste before salting. The sauce will thin out a bit when you add the pasta, so season it generously. For 2 servings. Recipe by classy

Vegan 'Meat' Sauce for Pasta Vegan 'Meat' Sauce for Pasta
This pseudo-meat sauce pasta doesn't include animal products or sugar. Instead of using meat, you use koya tofu, which is easy to find. Prepare the minced koya tofuThe point is to carefully sauté the garlic and onion so you can take full advantage of its sweetness.The garlic burns especially easily, so if it seems like it's burning even over low heat, remove from heat.

Halloumi Cheese & Chorizo Salad Halloumi Cheese & Chorizo Salad
Since I came to Australia and I first tried halloumi cheese, I've become addicted to its crunchy and dense texture. It's now my go-to cheese.I wanted to make a salad as a main meal so I added this cheese and chorizo to give it a bit more volume. They taste really good together!After cooking the chorizo, use the frying pan to cook the cheese without washing it out first. This way you can save time and the cheese will get a nice rich flavour from the chorizo!For the dressing I like to use honey mustard, but I think other types of mustard would also taste nice! The cheese and chorizo have plenty of flavour on their own anyway so you can also try making it without the dressing if you wish. For 2 servings. Recipe by Champbell -

Rigatoni with Homemade Meat Sauce Rigatoni with Homemade Meat Sauce
I love to use rigatoni with meat sauce because it picks up the sauce so well! Also, I like to change my sauce ingredients depending on what I have around at the time, and what I'm in the mood for, as far as vegetables & toppings go. One thing I almost always add to my sauce is the brown sugar. The kids and I both enjoy the sweetness in the sauce. You can make this into a cheesy sauce by adding parmesan and/or other cheeses and even cream. You can make this into a savory & spicy sauce by adding crushed red pepper and/or other hot peppers. You can add vegetables to the sauce to make a "garden medley." And, you can even make this with vegan meat! Of course sauce will always get better the longer it simmers with the ingredients. This is made quick for dinner. However, if your heart is truly in making the sauce you can continue to simmer it for a few hours or even slow cook it in a crockpot. #pasta #pastasauce #meatsauce #spaghettisauce #pastanight #italiannight

Creamy Tomato Pasta Creamy Tomato Pasta
In my house, everyone is obsessed with this dish. I make it regularly now. I was inspired by my favoritel italian restaurant who serves the best pastas (I'm biased). This sauce is pretty close to their ravioli sauce that I LOVE. I typically make herb chicken or shrimp to go with this. But the pasta alone is wonderful!

Cheese and Nuts Cream Sauce Pasta Cheese and Nuts Cream Sauce Pasta
I came across with this delicious dish while traveling, and I made my own version using cream cheese instead of mascarpone. I used store-bought pasta, so it's different from the amazing handmade pasta they make in Italy, but I think the sauce tastes very similar to the one I had.Bacon and cheese are both salty, so taste the sauce before you season it with salt and pepper.Don't overcook the pasta.I think it's tastier if you add the pasta into the sauce rather than pouring the sauce over the pasta. So we always add the pasta into the sauce at home. Recipe by Brandy
