step-by-step
instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom ½ inch of the broccoli stem; roughly chop the broccoli. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the tomatoes.
2
Cook the pasta
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 9 to 11 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Turn off the heat. Reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain thoroughly.
3
Cook the chorizo & broccoli
Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo and chopped broccoli; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until the chorizo is browned and cooked through and the broccoli is tender. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
4
Make the sauce
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic and halved tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined. Add the cream and 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined.
5
Finish the pasta & serve your dish
To the pan, add the cooked pasta, cooked chorizo and broccoli, and half the reserved pasta cooking water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and the pasta is coated (if necessary, gradually add the remaining cooking water to ensure the pasta is thoroughly coated). Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished pasta garnished with the cheese. Enjoy!
