I just love pasta dishes like this ! This is an easy pasta dish full of lovely combined flavours! It takes 15 minutes to make & it is healthy too!
The original recipe is from Jo Pratt! She is one of my favorite cooks!!! I adapted the recipe to my taste!! So, here we go!
Recipe: For 2 persons, with a bit of seconds
Ingredients:
about 350 gr of penne
125 gr of sliced chorizo/ I slice the chorizo really thin because I like it that way!
green olive tapenade / I bought it in the supermarket: about 2 to 3 tablespoons
250 gr of cherry tomatoes, cleaned, cut into 2
2 teaspoons of the best Balsamic vinegar
100 gr of young fresh salad leaves, which include rocket leaves
A few grinds of black pepper
Olive oil
Method:
1. Take a large cooking pot & fill with hot water. Bring to the boil. When boiling, add the penne & cook until al dente. With me, that took 13 minutes. Drain. Keep warm.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large non-stick pan on a medium high heat. When the pan is really hot, add a drop or 2 of the olive oil to the hot pan. Swirl the oil around. Heat up.
3. Now, add the cut up chorizo slices in 1 layer to the pan. Fry until crisp! Adapt the heat if necessary!
4. Now, add the tomatoes & the balsamic vinegar. Stir wel.Cook for 1 minute or 2 until the tomatoes start to break down. Turn the heat off.
5. When the pasta is ready & drained, add the 2 or 3 tablespoons of the green olive tapenade to the pot. Stir. Now, add the fried chorizo & the fried tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine. Taste. I added 3 grinds of black pepper to the pot. Taste again. It has to taste fab!! Because the tapenade is a bit salty!
6. Finally, add the young salad leaves. Serve immediately!
Enjoy!!! MMMMMMM……..I asure you that you want more,…….!!!
MMMMMM…Sophie!!! This pasta dish looks SUPERB!!! Thanks!!
This dish looks really yummie , Sophie!!
Sounds fantastic with the cherry tomatoes and green olive tapenade! I could eat pasta for every meal.
I dont have many pasta recipes in my files, but this is a keeper!
beautiful recipe – and you write fine – I didnt mean to make you feel bad
15 minutes? to get this color and flavor and healthiness into my belly? awesome.
yummy yummy
Looks delicious!I have pasta for dinner a few nights a week (working in an Italian restaurant is just like that)… You can bet that on Monday night, I’ll be making a variation on this! This would be fabulous with some white beans thrown in!!
This looks positively fabulous. Just the type of pasta that uses up a bit of what’s left in the fridge — and tastes absolutely fabulous! YUM.
I love all kinds of pasta and this one seems so tasty… Adding balsamic vinegar is a great idea!
Sophie, I like how you show off the Chorizo in this dish. It tastes wonderfully and no one will wonder why this pasta tastes so good!
Yummm, I don’t eat it but I’m desiring more and more…
Delicious looking pasta Sophie! I admit I’m a sucker for chorizo anything. I like how simple it is too
This pasta sounds wonderful with Chorizo – yum!
Sounds great! I love Chorizo!
This looks just beautiful. I love the flavors in this dish, and yes, I will be wanting more!!
This sounds really good – it’s funny, I don’t like olives at all, but for some reason I like olive tapenade! Maybe it’s the texture of the olives that I don’t go for but I just can’t stand them! Yet, olive flavored is A-OK!
Sophie, what a nice coincidience… I just made a chorizo pasta the other night. Yes, I still want more, the one like yours… yummm!
MMMMM…Chorizo is the best & so is this pasta dish!!!
That looks tasty!
That seems hearty and delicious. YUM!!
This sounds really yummy. I love pasta with sausage.
I have some chorizo in the freezer that I’ve been wondering what to do with! Thanks for the idea!
My mouth is watering! This is so creative and delicious!!! YUMMMMMMMYY!!!!
Looks beautiful Sophie!!!!!
We’re on the same chorizo plane! I love this sausage and I love how you’ve combined it with this pasta!
Oh yum, sausage and pasta go together so incredibly well!
Yum, I love all things chorizo!
Oh Sophie I could eat the whole thing. I love the chorizo with the pasta!
This looks wonderful. I just love chorizo! Slicing it very thin like that really helps it go farther, in terms of flavoring the dish.
Wow! Very nice ! It is mouthwatering !Cheers,Miette
so are young salad leaves REALLY that much better than middle-aged?
beautiful dish, sophie–it’s full of goodness.
What an excellent meal! I love the chorizo – so much flavor.
This looks great! I love chorizo but hardly use it. Thanks for the inspiration to pick some up!

Salame is one of my favs, so you can tell I die for chorizo!!! Nice recipe!
