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.

Categories     Penne

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

225 g penne
1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
2 chorizo sausages, thickly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 -4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups kale leaves, washed and finely chopped
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Steam the broccoli and set aside.
  • Boil some water in a large saucepot and cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, fry the chorizo in a frying pan on a high heat, turning so both sides get nice and crispy.
  • Remove the chorizo from the pan and leave to drain on paper towel.
  • Use a little more paper towel to clean out most of the fat from the chorizo from the frying pan, then add the olive oil.
  • Set the pan over a medium heat and lightly saute the garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Add the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  • Stir in the broccoli and chorizo and set aside.
  • Drain the pasta and mix in the hot sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese, then toss with the chorizo mixture and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality olive oil, and authentic Italian pasta.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. Pasta should be firm to the bite, but not hard or mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick together.
  • Season the pasta water. Add a generous amount of salt to the pasta water before cooking the pasta. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from tasting bland.
  • Use a large skillet. When cooking the chorizo and broccoli, use a large skillet so that there is plenty of room for the ingredients to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chorizo. Chorizo is a spicy sausage that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chorizo until it is just cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Add the broccoli at the end. Broccoli cooks quickly, so add it to the skillet towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent it from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or oregano. This will add a pop of flavor and color to the dish.

Conclusion:

This penne with chorizo and broccoli is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a great way to use up leftover chorizo, and it is also a healthy and flavorful dish. Serve it with a side of crusty bread and a glass of red wine for a complete meal.
