Spicy chorizo pasta

This post is going to be short. Partly because the dish was not that interesting and partly because my keyboard acts out.

Sometimes you just need an easy dish, and since I have found this lovely chorizo, I thought why not make a spicy chorizo pasta.

Ingredients were: chorizo, tinned tomatoes, bell pepper, chili, garlic, onion and of cause pasta.

I chopped and fried the onions, garlic and chili. Added small chunks of chorizo - it is important to fry the chorizo hard, so it gets kind of crispy, without blackening it of cause. Add peppers and cook for a short while. Finally add the tomatoes and let it simmer until the pasta is cooked. Remember to undercook the pasta a bit, since it continues to cook when added to the sauce.

Ingredients

As a side dish, I followed a recipe for corn on the cob with pecorino and cayennepepper.

When the corn is cooked (approx. 8 min), I rolled it in melted butter and afterwards cayennepepper mixed with grated pecorino. Unfortunately the corn was way hot, and it therefore melted the cheese, which actually was undesired.

Corn on the cob

As you can also see below, the result were not that flattering to look at, and the dish was kind of bland to eat. Next time, I will fry the chorizo harder (it had no crust), add more spices, and let the corn cool a bit before rolling it in cheese.

Final result

So this means, that I will actually try this dish again. An easy, tasty dish is very important to include in your repertoire.
