Chicken and Chorizo Sundried Tomato Rigatoni Pasta

Time for another recipe. This is a quick and easy meal which is probably why I love it. Combining my favourite things - pasta and meat, it takes less than 30 minutes to make this. This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients:


500g rigatoni pasta
200g chicken breast fillet diced
2 chorizo sausages sliced 
1/2 medium brown onion chopped finely
2 garlic cloves chopped finely
400g tin diced tomatoes
100g sundried tomatoes in oil
2 tbsp olive oil
few sprigs of parsley
salt and pepper


Method:

1. Bring water to boil in a pot, add a bit of salt and cook the rigatoni pasta until al-dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a separate non stick pan, heat the olive oil and saute chopped garlic and onion until fragrant. 
3. Add diced chicken pieces and sliced chorizo sausages into the pan and cook for 10 minutes or until meat is browned and cooked. Remember to toss occasionally.
4. Next add the sundried tomatoes along with the oil and toss well.
5. To make it a sauce base, pour the tin of diced tomatoes and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Lastly add the cooked rigatoni and some chopped parsley and stir thoroughly to cover all the pasta in sauce. The dish is ready to serve!

There you have it, a delicious quick and easy meal that is ever so satisfying! I like to serve some parmesan and chilli flakes with my pasta but that is certainly up to your liking. Hope you enjoy this recipe!
