Chorizo & Tomato Pasta

Ingredients


12oz bow-tie pasta (this ended up being way too much - next time, I'd only cook half the box!)
1 tbps olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
6oz chorizo sausage, cut into small slices
1pt cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/3 cup goat cheese
parsley



Pasta
Cook pasta as package directs. After cooking, drain the pasta over a bowl, keeping about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of the water to add to the sauce if necessary.


Sauce
Saute garlic. Add chorizo and saute an additional 3-4 minutes over medium heat until browned. Add tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Turn heat down to low until ready to pour over the pasta. Add water from the pasta as necessary to make it more saucy. We also added some parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning at this point.


Top the pasta with the goat cheese and parsley.




And..... for the man who LOVES sauce.... You may choose to add some Prego ;)

Yum! This made enough for either 2 dinners, or 1 dinner and 2 lunches for me :) And, like I said, LOTS of extra noodles.
