Spicy chorizo penne with roasted tomato sauce - a flavorful Italian dish by Curtis Stone.
Ingredients:
  • 6 medium field tomatoes, core removed, quartered
  • 54.60 gm olive oil
  • 1 medium red capsicum
  • 1 small brown onion, cut into large chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1/4 tsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1 chorizo, halved and cut into 2mm long slices
  • 350g Brand Penne Pasta
  • 62.50 ml shaved parmesan cheese
  • 62.50 ml lightly packed basil leaves, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan forced). Place tomatoes on a foil-lined baking tray, cut side up, and generously drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • Place the whole capsicum, onion, and garlic on another foil-lined tray.
  • Roast the tomatoes in the oven for about 1 hour until soft and lightly browned. Roast the capsicum, onion, and garlic for 30 minutes until lightly charred and very tender. Transfer the capsicum to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap to steam, then peel off the skin and discard.
  • Extract the garlic flesh into a food processor, removing the skin. Add the onion and capsicum. Pulse until chunky. Introduce the tomatoes and process until combined yet still chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • 1. Boil a generous amount of salted water in a large saucepan and cook the penne as per the package directions. Drain the penne in a colander. Place the pan back on medium heat with the remaining olive oil. When the oil is hot, sauté the chorizo until lightly browned, then sprinkle in the chili flakes after 2 minutes.
  • Combine tomato sauce in the pan and stir well. Coat pasta by tossing it in the sauce. Gently fold in basil and divide into 4 shallow serving bowls. Top with shaved parmesan for garnish before serving.
