Chicken & Chorizo Pasta

Made with tender chicken, spicy chorizo, onion, and pasta all in a garlicky Parmesan cream sauce. And to make things even better, it all comes together in just 30 minutes.

* ¾ cup dry short-cut pasta penne, rotini, etc.
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 4 oz Mexican chorizo casings removed, if needed
* ½ white onion diced
* 1½ cups boneless skinless chickencut into bite-sized pieces
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* 1 teaspoon tomato paste
* ½ cup heavy cream
* ½ cup reserved pasta water
* 1 cup chopped spinach
* 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
* Salt & Pepper to taste

* Cook the Pasta: Boil pasta in generously salted water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve at least ½ cup of pasta water before draining. Set pasta aside.

* Sauté the Chorizo: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for about 2 minutes, breaking it up as it browns. 

* Add Chicken and Onion: Stir in the chicken and diced onion. Cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are soft.

* Add Garlic and Tomato Paste: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the tomato paste and stir to combine.

* Add Cream: Pour in the cream followed by the grated parmesan and chopped spinach. 

* Add Pasta & Pasta Water: Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss well to coat and simmer on medium-low for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the pasta.

* Serve: Top with more Parmesan and enjoy!
