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.
