Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 oz Gluten Free Brown Rice Farfalle or any pasta of your choosing
- 9 oz Beef Chorizo
- 2 tablespoon Costabile garlic olive oil or 2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon onion paste
- 8 oz heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- ¼ cup Mozzarella Cheese
- Pasta water reserved
Instructions
- Begin by boiling your pasta water and cooking the pasta for al dente per the instructions.
- While the pasta is boiling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add in the onion paste and tomato paste. Stir this all really well with the chorizo. Allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Next add in the heavy cream and mozzarella cheese. Stir this really well until the sauce begins to thicken. Allow this to cook for 5 to 7 minutes until it comes to a slight boil.
- Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to thicken. Add in your cooked pasta and stir.
- Plate the pasta, add some fresh garnish, and enjoy!
I like to cook this for about one minute less than what the instructions say therefore it doesn’t get mushy when it’s placed into the pasta sauce. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before you drain the pasta.
If your sauce is too thick at this point, you may use some of the reserved pasta water 2 tablespoons at a time until your desired consistency has been met.
