CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA BAKE
Not a recipe for people on a diet - chicken, sausage, and penne is baked in a creamy tomato sauce. I cook the meats, pasta, and sauce all at the same time, but it can be done individually and refrigerated before baking it in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and chorizo and cook for 5 minutes until the chorizo is hot and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.
- Pour the tomato puree, cream, and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add drained pasta and sauce to the skillet containing the chicken and mix well. Spoon the mixture into an oven proof dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA
I just made this up 20 minutes ago, and I think it's pretty yum. I love chorizo and never know what to do with it, so here's an idea. I didn't use veggies or cheese in mine, but I think they would be nice. I made a Gluten Free version for myself at the same time as a Regular version for my husband, so they prep time might be off.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions to el dente.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice sausage and fry at medium heat until cooked through.
- Drain sausage.
- Mix cooked pasta, sauce, green onion, cilantro, chicken, sausage, and vegetables (if using) in casserole dish.
- Top with cheese, if using.
- Cook at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until heated through and smelling yummy.
- Gluten Free Modifications: To make this Gluten Free I used Freybe Wine Chorizo, Tinkyada Rice Pasta spirals, and Classico Fire-Roasted Tomato& Garlic pasta sauce.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pasta dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, and spicy chorizo.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and chorizo, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture than overcooked pasta.
- Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and toss to coat. This will help the pasta absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This chicken and chorizo pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of spicy chorizo, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables makes this dish a hit. Plus, it's a great way to use up any leftover chicken or chorizo you may have.
