Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked pasta

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 (8.8 ounce) coil Spanish chorizo sausage (cut into small pieces)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juices)

Directions

Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook it until al dente according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and chorizo and fry it until it just starts to get crispy (around 5 minutes).

Add the onion and cook it until it's softened (about 5 minutes).

Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, and cream. Let the sauce cook for another 5 minutes or so, or until the sauce is reduced to your liking. Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed.

Toss with the pasta and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
