Rigatoni Pasta with Chorizo image

This is a great, fast dinner that's perfect for a potluck or weeknight meal. You can substitute chicken for the sausage, or delete the sausage to make it vegetarian, and it would still taste great!

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 pound chorizo sausage links, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rigatoni, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo slices, and continue cooking until the chorizo is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes to thicken and smooth the sauce. Stir the cooked chorizo into the sauce along with the drained rigatoni pasta. Stir, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was watery and the pasta was overcooked. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and red pepper flakes next time.

This was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chorizo.

I wasn't sure how the chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes would taste together, but I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors worked really well together and the dish was delicious.
