CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA BAKE



Chicken and Chorizo Pasta Bake image

Not a recipe for people on a diet - chicken, sausage, and penne is baked in a creamy tomato sauce. I cook the meats, pasta, and sauce all at the same time, but it can be done individually and refrigerated before baking it in the oven.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½ cups penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 chorizo sausage, cut into chunks
1 ½ cups tomato puree
1 cup light cream
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and chorizo and cook for 5 minutes until the chorizo is hot and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the tomato puree, cream, and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add drained pasta and sauce to the skillet containing the chicken and mix well. Spoon the mixture into an oven proof dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA



Chicken and Chorizo Pasta image

I just made this up 20 minutes ago, and I think it's pretty yum. I love chorizo and never know what to do with it, so here's an idea. I didn't use veggies or cheese in mine, but I think they would be nice. I made a Gluten Free version for myself at the same time as a Regular version for my husband, so they prep time might be off.

CHORIZO TOMATO SAUCE (FOR PASTA OR CHICKEN)



Chorizo Tomato Sauce (For Pasta or Chicken) image

I'll continue to tweak this one, I'm sure, but this is my current version. At these amounts, it makes a good bit of sauce. Number of servings listed is my guesstimate for pasta, which is what I originally came up with this for. I had some leftover in the fridge this afternoon, though, and tried it over a leftover chicken breast. Yum! Makes me wonder what else this might work on...
