There are two styles of Chorizo: Spanish (garlic, smoked paprika) and Mexican (chili peppers, vinegar). For this post, the focus was on the Mexican style of Chorizo with a slight twist (I smoked the Chorizo in a Big Green Egg). Heat oil in a large pan or flame-proof casserole over medium heat. Add the chorizo and diced onion and cook until the liquid is gone, the chorizo begins to brown and the onions are translucent.

Steps to make Smoky Chorizo & Chicken Pasta Bake:
  1. Heat oven to 200 degrees celcius on bake.
  2. In a large pan add olive oil and brown chicken on high heat. DO NOT OVER COOK. Once chicken is browned, add salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well then transfer chicken into a separate dish.
  3. In the same pan, lower the heat to medium-high and add more olive oil. Add onions and chorizo and cook until onions are transparent and chorizo is browned. Add in all other veggies, salt, pepper, paprika, chilli flakes and smoky paprika. Once the veggies have stared to soften, add the garlic (either grate in or chop finely beforehand). Cook veggies for 10-15 minutes until nicely browned and soft.
  4. In a separate pot, cook penne pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Reserve one cup pasta water and drain remainder, then set pasta aside.
  5. Once the veggies are cooked, add the Leggos pasta sauce, rinsing the bottle out with a small amount of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and add spinach. Add in the cooked pasta and chicken and mix well. Cook all together for a few minutes to allow flavours to come together. Add pasta water as needed to get the sauce to the right consistency. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, paprika, smokey paprika and chilli.
  6. Transfer to an oven proof dish. Top with a generous amount of grated cheddar and parmesan cheese then sprinkle lightly with paprika. Place on a high rack in the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese has browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Heat oil in a large pan or flame-proof casserole over medium heat. Add the chorizo and diced onion and cook until the liquid is gone, the chorizo begins to brown and the onions are translucent. Chorizo is a pork sausage that can be either raw or cured, but is always strongly flavored, either with smoked paprika or chilis. Marinate the chicken: Combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
