Chicken and Chorizo Pasta
This Gluten Free Creamy Chicken and Chorizo Pasta is a dreamy, speedy meal, perfect for busy weeknights. The creamy sauce is packed with smoky flavours from the chorizo and garlic, with tender chicken chunks.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 200 g gluten free pasta I used the Rummo rigatoni pasta
- 300 g chicken breast chopped into bite-size pieces
- 75 g diced chorizo
- 150 g cream cheese I used light cream cheese
- 150 g baby plum tomatoes halved
- 3 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 100 ml pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to a rolling boil and then cook the gluten free pasta per the pack instructions. This is usually around 10 minutes at a steady boil. Before draining the pasta, reserve 100ml of the cooking water.
- While the pasta cooks, add the chorizo and chicken breast pieces to a pan and fry for 4-5 minutes on a medium heat. The oil from the chorizo should be sufficient, but you can add a little extra olive oil if needed.
- Add the garlic paste, tomatoes and oregano to the pan. Mix well and fry for another 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the reserved pasta water, add the cream cheese and simmer for another 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it and then add to the sauce. Mix well then serve straight away.
Notes
- Serving Suggestion: I love serving this pasta up fresh with some steamed tenderstem broccoli, a shaving of parmesan cheese and a side of gluten free garlic bread.
- Storing: This pasta recipe is definitely best eaten fresh. You can refrigerate and reheat leftovers but it's definitely nicer when freshly cooked.
