Easy Pasta Recipe – Pappardelle With Peppers and Chorizo

On a night where simple is needed, I turn to pasta. It really does not take much to make a great pasta dish. Many times, whether it is a pasta with a cream sauce or just a plain tomato sauce, the ingredient list is relatively short. Boiling up the noodles and tossing them into a sauce is relatively easy as far as cooking is concerned. Even making a fresh tomato sauce is not that hard. One of my favorite easy pasta recipes is to toss noodles with spicy sausage and peppers. It is a little different, but still easy to do.

By using chorizo, the recipe goes off the normal path just a little. I am a huge lover of italian sausage, but chorizo makes a nice change and adds a little extra spice to the dish. The peppers add a nice sweetness and balsamic vinegar adds a touch of tartness. As far as noodles go, I use the shape I have on hand. Sure, who doesn’t have a favorite like trotolle or penne? Mostly I go for the long noodles though, as I like to see the diners do a little slurping. I am not against slurping noodles, especially when there are kids at the table. I love it when a meal is tasty and entertaining.
