Chorizo + cream + pasta = the perfect combo with mushrooms for dinner
When you taste this recipe for the first time, it instantly became our new go-to lazy-day favorite! So easy and quick to improvise, mushroom and chorizo pasta is full of flavors and colors for a comforting and convivial dinner. Between the chorizo that adds heat without effort, the mushrooms for a forest touch, and the cream to bind everything together, it’s truly wonderful! We finish with a generous amount of Parmesan for indulgence, and that’s it. It’s a recipe that requires little time in the kitchen (only 15 minutes in total) and is very easy to make, suitable for all levels.
For the pasta, we recommend choosing penne or rigatoni which will perfectly cling to the sauce. But you’re free to use any pasta you like; there are no rules when it comes to treating yourself! For the intensity of the chorizo, opt for a strong one if you like it really spicy or a mild chorizo if you prefer something more subtle. Enjoy your meal!
