Chicken pasta with creamy chorizo sauce
Today, I’m sharing a pasta dish that’s as simple as it is comforting: chicken pasta with a creamy chorizo and tomato sauce, bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of recipe that’s easy to prepare during the week or on the weekend, sure to please everyone, and always a hit at the table.
I chose to add cherry tomatoes for a touch of freshness, but depending on the season, you can easily substitute them with chopped tomatoes… or even do without them! That’s what I love about this dish: it lends itself to all sorts of variations: diced zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, or any other vegetable you have on hand—they all work perfectly together.
And of course, a generous handful of grated cheese at the end of the meal will make all the difference: Parmesan, pecorino, feta, or, to stay in the Spanish spirit, a delicious Manchego cheese-it’s absolutely perfect!
