Macaroni and Chorizo Recipe

To prepare macaroni with tomato and chorizo , you will need top quality ingredients that highlight the authentic flavor of this dish. Fortunately, at Don Ibérico, you will find the best acorn-fed Iberian chorizo , which will ensure the success of your recipe.

Ingredients:

400 gr of macaroni
200 gr of acorn-fed Iberian chorizo from Don Ibérico, cut into slices
400 gr of crushed tomato
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
100 gr grated cheese (optional)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of sugar
Water to cook the macaroni
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preparation of the chorizo: In a large frying pan, heat a little extra virgin olive oil and add the acorn-fed Iberian chorizo from Don Ibérico. Sauté the chorizo slices until they are golden and release their characteristic aroma and oil. Remove the chorizo and set aside.

Sauté: In the same pan, use the oil released by the chorizo to sauté the onion and garlic. Cook them over medium heat until they are transparent and soft. This process will enhance the flavors of your chorizo macaroni.

Cooking the macaroni: While you're preparing the sofrito, bring a large pot of water to a boil with a little salt and a pinch of sugar. Add the macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve some of the cooking water.

Combine all the ingredients : Add the crushed tomatoes to the sauce and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld. Add the reserved Iberian chorizo and, if necessary, a little of the water from cooking the macaroni to adjust the consistency of the sauce.

Finishing the dish: Add the cooked macaroni to the pan with the sauce and mix well to coat it with all the flavours. If you wish, you can sprinkle grated cheese on top and let it melt in the residual heat.

Serving: Serve the macaroni and chorizo piping hot, garnished with a few fresh basil leaves to add a touch of colour and freshness.
