Matts Chorizo Penne Pasta

Thank you Bianca. It's in final stages of cooking as we speak. Will let you know how it goes. Cheers, Kim.

Hi Kim, That should work no problem at all. I have made it this way before and just sliced the chorizo in half lengthways first then sliced each length into thin pieces. You can follow the method the same otherwise

How would it go if you didn't mince the chorizo but left it chopped up? Kim.

Made this tonight and loved it.  So simple yet sooooo good.  Thanks for sharing  .

Thanks for creating & sharing this recipe. I have made this countless times over the past year when wanting to prepare a quick & easy "one pot" meal. It is a flexible recipe base for adding ingredients such as zucchini, carrot, spinach or capsicum. i dont usually have tomato paste, so use pasta sauce instead. ive even had to substitute the chorizo for ham or cooked lamb sausage before & surprisingly, it has still been very tasty. different brands of penne require a few extra minutes cooking time. 

Nice!  Thanks to Matt and Bianca for sharing. 

Hi, Im so glad you enjoyed the recipe! My husband created this dish and its one of his favourites

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I think it is probably a good idea to increase the time to caramelise the onion and garlic longer. I've checked the recipes from head office and its best to have it saute for 3min/varoma temp/ speed 1 which i will update in the recipe. The 2 min is enough to release the flavour in the oil and will still continue to cook in the dish but if you want it more sauteed you can cook it for longer to your preference.

The time it takes to heat up will fluctuate from time to time depending on a few factors like the temp of your bowl, temp of ingredients etc so it may heat up quicker one time and take a bit longer the next.

hope that helps a bit with your query

Hi - this was lovely, but I have a little query that I hope you can help me with.  

Step 5 says 'Add oil, saute 2mins/100 C/Speed 1'

I set the temp to 100, timer to 2mins and speed to 1.  After 2 mins, the temp had not reached 100C, so I was a little unsure about whether I should have pre-heated the TM to 100C (if so, how do I do that?) because obviously the garlic, onions & chillies would not have sauteed at 100C.  

What I did was re-set it to 100C/2mins/Speed 1, by which time the oil had reached 100C.

Hope you can give me some advice 

Thanks 

I made this for dinner last night and it was a BIG hit, my family really loved it!  Thank you 

We had this for dinner tonite was a yummy dish

Very tasty! I omitted the chilli (would probably add it next time), reduced the olives to 100g and only used 300g pasta... I still found that I needed to add more water to get it to cook though. I used an odd type of pasta from a little Italian grocer and the cooking time said 18 minutes so that's probably why I had run out of fresh herbs so used some dried basil. I will reduce the stock paste quantity next time. A very impressive, quick, tasty dish. Thanks!

Made this for the family tonight. Hubby and Kids LOVED it !!!! Was so yummy 

this was beautiful

I made the mistake of putting the chorizo'basil,parsley,cheese together, then dumped it all in to the bowl at the chorizo stage, before realising i had stuffed it up.

but i was pleasently surprised, it turned out fantastic.  An excellent recipe.

omg I'm in love, this recipe is just the best, it's my fav by far!

My husband loved it!!!

Hi Lana,

The chopped parsley/basil is added back in at the end with the parmesan. You could defientely use extra though for garnish if you like 

When do you add the basil/parsley back in? is it the basil at the end with the parmesean cheese? or is that basil for looks?
