Ingredients

onion 1 (diced)
chorizo 200 g (diced)
rigatoni pasta 300 g
kale 80 g (sliced)
grated Parmesan 40 g (grated)

Method

Prep the ingredients

Peel and dice the onion. Dice the chorizo, if you're using cooking chorizo you can crumble it instead.

Cook the chorizo & onion

Heat a large frying pan on a medium heat (no need to add oil, the chorizo will release oil). Add the chorizo and cook for a minute then stir in the onion so that it cooks in that delicious chorizo oil, for around 7 minutes.

Cook the pasta & grate the Parmesan

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water. You’ll use some of the pasta cooking water in the next step so don’t throw it away!
Grate the Parmesan, unless already grated.

Add the kale & finish your dish

Tear any of the larger pieces of kale into smaller pieces (to help it all cook evenly). Add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water into the pan with the onion and chorizo and mix vigorously.
Tip in the kale and cook for a couple of minutes until wilted (adding a splash more pasta water if needed), then stir in the rigatoni.

Plate Up

Plate up and scatter the Parmesan over the pasta. Add more Parmesan to garnish as you like. Tuck in and enjoy!
