PENNE WITH CHORIZO AND KALE



Penne With Chorizo and Kale image

I created this recipe to suit the veggies I happened to have in my fridge at the time. It was pretty slim pickings but if I'd had onions or fresh lemon I might have added those too. As it was, I was pretty pleased with this. If you don't have chorizo, you could use your favourite sausage.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh, flavorful chorizo, kale, and penne pasta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chorizo and kale, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will make the dish watery.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This penne with chorizo and kale is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The smoky chorizo, hearty kale, and creamy sauce come together to create a dish that is both delicious and satisfying. This recipe is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
