It’s all made in one pan, is made with plenty of easy ingredients and is ready in under 30 minutes. It’s also hearty, satisfying and SO delicious! It’s no surprise to me that this Chorizo Pasta recipe is so popular. You can’t get enough of this one! And it appears very regularly on my meal plans too, probably for all the same reasons… For starters, one pan meals are our midweek sanity saviours aren’t they? I love recipes that involve chucking everything in, even the pasta, especially the ones that mean you don’t have to compromise on taste for convenience. Then there’s the fact it usually goes down well with everyone, and it’s quick, easy and can be made of long shelf-life ingredients, so you can whip it up any time you’re stuck for an idea for dinner.

Substitutions
Sweet smoked paprika: I use this as it’s warming and a little smoky, but also fine for childrens’ palates. If you want something a little more spicy, add or substitute regular paprika.
If you don’t serve this as soon as it’s cooked, you’ll find that the sauce absorbs into the pasta and there’s not a lot left. It won’t affect the taste, you may just want to add a splash more stock when you warm it through. Can you freeze Chorizo Pasta? I’m not a big fan of freezing pasta as it can go quite mushy when defrosted and reheated. All that said, there’s nothing wrong with freezing for a lunch if you have leftovers, it’s just not quite as good as fresh or reheated from the fridge. I always make up 750ml of stock but only add 500ml to start with. I then check on the pasta as it cooks and add more if it’s looking dry. If you like very ‘wet’ saucy pasta, go ahead and add it all at the start. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
