Instructions
 

  • Gather ingredients. Prepare vegetables, slice onions and peppers into about ½ inch slices. Roughly chop garlic.
  • Fill a large pot with water and start to bring to a boil. Cook pasta per instructions, about 1.5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Add a tablespoon of oil to a medium sauté pan. Add onions and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the chorizo and peppers and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add chopped tomato, tomato paste, sugar, crushed red pepper to the pan. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • When the sauce has reached the desired consistency and doneness, gently fold in the fettuccine.
  • Plate and top with fresh basil and parmesan cheese. Enjoy.

Notes

  • Add a splash of heavy cream just before adding the pasta to make more of a rich creamy sauce.
  • Add more or less red pepper to control the heat.
  • Add Jalapeno in with the peppers to really increase the heat. This would also be great with JGP Tortellini or Small Cheese Ravioli.
