What ingredients you will need

brown onion
chicken thigh
chilli flakes
chorizo – you can use milder or spicier chorizo based on your preference. It should be cured, not a raw sausage.
cracked black pepper
cream of choice – for dairy-free we recommend Flora Plant Based cream
garlic
olive oil
Parmesan cheese – this is purely for serving, you can skip or you can use cheese of choice too. Dairy-free can use nutritional yeast.
passata – I like the Mutti brand of passata. Some of the cheaper brands are a bit too acidic.
penne (gluten-free if required)
Stock Concentrate
sugar of choice
tomato paste
Worcestershire sauce

Tips & Dietary Needs

Protein swap – Green Prawn meat would be amazing to replace the chicken, add it in the last 8 min of cooking.
No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock.
Don’t like chorizo? Try using some bacon or adding some sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce (just a little, to taste).
Boost the protein – Add some additional cooked chicken on serving.
Dairy-free – Flora Plant Based Cream is great in these kids of dishes that you don’t want a coconut taste.
Gluten-free – You can cook in the sauce or choose to cook the Sauce only option, so you can have better cooking control over the fragile pasta on the stovetop.
Low carb/Paleo – Use compliant chorizo or bacon. Cook sauce only and serve over zoodles. Use compliant sweetener and sauces.
Lower calorie – Halve chorizo. Use chicken breast. Use low-fat cream.
Go veggie – Use vegetable stock concentrate. Replace chorizo with mushrooms and replace chicken with capsicum and zucchini, sliced.
Low Fodmap – Use compliant chorizo or bacon. Use gluten-free pasta. Omit garlic and use garlic infused olive oil. Replace onion with 1–2 spring onions (green part only). Use compliant stock concentrate and lactose-free cream.
Spice Level – This pasta can have a bit of a kick from the chilli flakes and the chorizo, so if you are spice sensitive try reducing the chilli flakes by half or even less.

From the Testing Team

Mark R – Omg this is good, I browned the chorizo using the high heat function in the TM7 then picked out to chop the onion and garlic with tongues. I didn’t put the chorizo back in until after cooking the onion and garlic which worked perfectly. I did 10 minutes on the browning function, there was some burning but this was consumed by cooking the onion and the rest of the recipe. Nice all in one for the TM7. Increased last cook 2 mins and sat for 15 min.
Jodi H – Delicious!! Cooked the chorizo on high heat which was great but probably would be more consistent browning in a frypan. Definitely will be making it again!
Paula M – Tasty! My pasta needed a little longer but it was the type of pasta I used. I also browned the chorizo in the TM6 using the 250g chicken strip recipe which cooks for 7 minutes and it worked well as it needs 20g of oil so I just didn’t add that later. Tipped the chorizo/oil into a bowl so I could then blitz the onion and garlic. I also like to cut my chorizo into half moons coz when they are round I find they get stuck/skewered onto the blades. My only negative is that I think there was probably too much chorizo?? I know it sounds crazy
David B – Made it tonight. Tastes like a meaty beefed up version of amatriciana! Loved it
Renee H – Made this for the first time tonight. It was popular in my house. I have a child that eats nothing, I mean like 5 things and Mez’ bacon and cheese muffins are his favourite. He ate the sauce and pasta to this which made me so happy, and he ate a big bowl. That’s a win in my books.
Lisa S – Delicious! And worked perfectly with GF pasta all cooked in the Thermomix
Julie H – Absolutely delicious the only thing you need to decide is how chilli hot you like it. I only added 1/4 teaspoon as I know how hot my chilli flakes are lol. Pasta finishes off cooking nicely in the thermo server
