CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA BAKE



Chicken and Chorizo Pasta Bake image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½ cups penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 chorizo sausage, cut into chunks
1 ½ cups tomato puree
1 cup light cream
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

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.

CHORIZO PASTA BAKE

You can vary the spiciness of this dish by adding more chillies. I served this to visitors and it's now his favourite meal - she says he'd have it for every meal if she'd let him! So, I'm a very happy cooker. ;o) If you cook pasta on a rolling boil it is less likely to stick together - and it doesn't boil over - I don't know why! It just doesn't. My husband likes to pour EVOO and balsamic vinegar over his, but that's him!
