Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the chorizo & vegetables
Meanwhile, halve, core and medium-dice the sweet pepper. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chorizo*, garlic, carrots and sweet pepper; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until golden brown and cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
To the pan of chorizo and vegetables, add the pasta, tomato sauce, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
