Yet it still tastes like something made with fancy ingredients! <em>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chorizo<\/strong> &#8211; You&#8217;ll want to use Spanish Chorizo (cured) and dice it into small half-moons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pasta<\/strong> &#8211; I use Farfalle, but any type of pasta will do the trick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roasted Red Peppers<\/strong> &#8211; I use jarred peppers for ease, but you can roast your own if you&#8217;d like <em>(more on this in the recipe card notes)<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken Stock<\/strong> &#8211; This is used to blend the peppers into a sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun Dried Tomatoes<\/strong> &#8211; These add gorgeous pops of flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese<\/strong> &#8211; Mascarpone helps create a dreamy, creamy sauce, whilst the parmesan adds bags of flavour to the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato Puree<\/strong> &#8211; Aka tomato paste in the US.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong> &#8211; I love adding basil and parsley for a pop of herbaceous flavour. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasoning<\/strong> &#8211; Chilli flakes add the spice, whilst smoked paprika helps highlight the smokiness of the chorizo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic &amp; Shallots<\/strong> &#8211; For a gorgeous base flavour. These are both fried in the leftover chorizo oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"794\" data-pin-description=\"This Chorizo Pasta is absolutely loaded with flavour and couldn&#039;t be more simple to make!\" data-pin-title=\"Chorizo Pasta (spicy &amp; delicious)\" src=\"https:\/\/entresuitemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/chorizo-pasta-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of chorizo pasta ingredients with text labels\" class=\"wp-image-29645\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">How to make Chorizo Pasta<\/h2>\n<p>Blending the peppers and stock takes 2 seconds, so you can do this at any point before it&#8217;s needed in the pan. I typically just do it at the start to get it out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>From there, you&#8217;ll want to start the chorizo off in a <strong>cold pan<\/strong>. Sounds odd, but letting the chorizo heat up with the pan will help<strong> render out the fat<\/strong>. <em>This is great for two reasons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Helps crisp up the chorizo<\/li>\n<li>The rendered fat blends into the sauce and adds bags of flavour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It also means you don&#8217;t have to use oil at all in this recipe. You get it free from the chorizo, and it is perfect for frying the garlic and shallots!<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: add peppers and stock to a blender (photo 1), blitz until smooth (photo 2), fry chorizo (photo 3), fry shallots, garlic &amp; chilli flakes (photo 4), add tomato puree (photo 5), fry (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"This Chorizo Pasta is absolutely loaded with flavour and couldn&#039;t be more simple to make!\" data-pin-title=\"Chorizo Pasta (spicy &amp; delicious)\" src=\"https:\/\/entresuitemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/how-to-make-chorizo-pasta.jpg\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make chorizo pasta\" class=\"wp-image-29641\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve fried everything, the recipe <strong>comes together very quickly<\/strong>. In fact, the sauce is so luscious and thick, you <strong>don&#8217;t even need to simmer it<\/strong>! Just toss the pasta through and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-tip cwp-inner has-background has-secondary-background-color\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-tip__title\">Recipe Tip<\/h2>\n<p>The sauce should thicken around and cling to the pasta. If it over-thickens, just toss through some of the leftover starchy pasta water to thin it out. The sauce thickens pretty quickly, so it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll need it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: add blended peppers (photo 7), stir through mascarpone (photo 8), stir in sun dried tomatoes and smoked paprika (photo 9), stir in pasta (photo 10), add in herbs and parmesan (photo 11), stir (photo 12).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"This Chorizo Pasta is absolutely loaded with flavour and couldn&#039;t be more simple to make!\" data-pin-title=\"Chorizo Pasta (spicy &amp; delicious)\" src=\"https:\/\/entresuitemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/how-to-make-chorizo-pasta-1.jpg\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make chorizo pasta\" class=\"wp-image-29640\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">How to serve Chorizo Pasta<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, the sauce will thicken quickly, so serve up right away. I love to serve with extra parsley and chilli flakes for a final pop of colour and flavour. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\/roasted-garlic-bread\/\">Garlic bread<\/a> is always optional if you&#8217;re feeling extra carby!<\/p>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1748980028721\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make this ahead of time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It&#8217;s certainly best made fresh, but leftovers are still great. Just allow to cool and tightly store in the fridge for 3 or so days. I like to reheat over low heat in the pan with a splash of stock, milk or water to make it saucy again, but short blasts in the microwave will be fine.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Alrighty, let&#8217;s tuck into the full recipe for this chorizo pasta shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img

If you\u2019re unsure, just start off with \u00bd teaspoon and work your way up at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Jarred roasted red peppers<\/strong> &#8211; these typically come in a vinegary brine. While you do want to squeeze as much of the brine out of the peppers as possible, you don\u2019t want to rinse them. A touch of brine will help balance the flavours in the sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Homemade roasted red peppers<\/strong> &#8211; I prefer using pre-roasted peppers, mainly for ease, but you can make your own if you\u2019d like. Just place 2 red peppers under the grill on high and cook until soft and completely charred on the outside, rotating as you go to ensure even coverage. Place them in a bowl, cover the bowl with cling film and leave to cool. From there, peel away the skin (a little char left on the peppers is great for flavour) then deseed and continue with the recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n<div
