Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the cream sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

  7. Let the pasta simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.

  8. Serve the Chorizo Pasta Cream Sauce in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your cozy and decadent meal!
