Spicy Sausage Pasta
Ingredients
⅔ lb fresh chorizo sausage
5 ounces bacon chopped
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
2 big handfuls fresh spinach
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ lb fresh tagaliatelle cooked according to package instruction
1 cup pasta cooking water
1 tablespoon butter optional, use only if needed
Directions
Peel the skin off the sausages by making a cut into the sausage, and pulling off the skin. Then chop the sausages roughly.
Place chopped bacon in a cold frying pan and place it over medium-high heat. Cook until bacon is cooked through and has released some fat.
Add the sausage and the chopped garlic and cook until sausage is cooked through. Stir often and try to break apart the sausage a bit as it cooks.
Add the spinach and mix it in with the bacon and sausage, and allow to wilt.
Deglaze the pan with half a cup (100 ml) of pasta cooking water, by pouring in the pasta water and then stirring well to release all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add pasta and half a cup (100 ml) of pasta water and mix well. Add more pasta water if needed for everything to combine well, or if you want more sauce.
Add the grated Parmesan and mix well. And you’re ready to serve!
