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
- 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 chorizo, onion paste and tomato paste. Cook the tomato paste until it darkens slightly and becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low before adding the mozzarella and stir until melted and smooth.
- Once it’s at a gentle simmer, 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 the pasta for about one minute less than what the instructions say. This allows it to finish cooking to the perfect consistency when added to the chorizo and sauce. Don't forget to save 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.
