Beef Chorizo and Chicken Pasta<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t

**Chicken:**<\/h4>
  • 1 pound of chicken breast<\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of salt<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of garlic powder<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of black pepper<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of cumin<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of coriander<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of oregano<\/li><\/ul>

    **Sauce:**<\/h4>
    • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter<\/li>
    • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic<\/li>
    • 1\/4 cup of tomato paste<\/li>
    • 2 cups of heavy cream<\/li>
    • 2 tablespoons of cream cheese<\/li>
    • 1 teaspoon of chili powder<\/li>
    • 1 teaspoon of dried basil<\/li>
    • 1\/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese (add more to taste)<\/li><\/ul>

      **Other:**<\/h4>
      • 16 ounces of rigatoni or penne pasta<\/li>
      • 12 ounces of beef chorizo<\/li>
      • 1 to 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
        \n\t\t

        **Preparing the Chicken:**<\/h4>
        1. In a bowl, mix the chicken with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and oregano for even marination.<\/li>
        2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil.<\/li>
        3. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, ensuring it’s cooked through (about 3 minutes per side).<\/li>
        4. Let the chicken cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then chop it into small pieces. Set aside.<\/li><\/ol>

          **Cooking the Pasta:**<\/h4>
          1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in salted water.<\/li>
          2. Drain the cooked pasta.<\/li><\/ol>

            **Preparing the Sauce:**<\/h4>
            1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the beef chorizo until browned (about 6 to 7 minutes). Transfer to a plate, leaving some oil in the pan.<\/li>
            2. In the same pan, melt the butter and cook garlic and tomato paste for 1 to 2 minutes.<\/li>
            3. Add heavy cream, cream cheese, chili powder, dried basil, parmesan, and cooked chorizo. Whisk and simmer until thickened.<\/li>
            4. Remove from heat, add back the pasta and parsley. Mix well.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
              \n\t\t

              The sauce doesn’t need extra salt because the chorizo and parmesan naturally salt it. Adjust to taste if needed. Enjoy your flavorful pasta!<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
