How to make an easy Chorizo Chicken Pasta Bake:
- Start by pre-heating the oven to 220 degrees / 200 degrees fan.
- Cook and drain the pasta in salted boiling water as per packet instructions – about 10 minutes.
- Chop up the chorizo (you can buy it ready chopped if you’re super lazy) and add it to a frying pan over a high heat.
- Chop up the chicken into rough chunks. Once the oils from the chorizo begin to be released (it’ll only take a few minutes), add in the chicken with the garlic.
- Fry everything for 5 minutes until chicken has started to get some colour all over.
- Add in the chopped tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper to taste and the soft cheese.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and mix everything together, stirring until the cheese has fully melted into the sauce.
- Add in the drained pasta and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with grated cheese.
- Bake for around 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden.
