Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

COMFORT FOOD

Creamy chilli spiced chicken and smokey chorizo sausage bits make this bowl of pasta an ultimate comfort food! Sit back with a glass of your favorite white wine and indulge in this great Italian dish! A rich creamy decadent spicy sauce, bursts of sun-dried tomato, crispy bites of savory chorizo sausage and succulent chicken all coszied up through ribbons of velvety tagliatelle.

SPICY CHICKEN & CHORIZO TAGLIATELLE INGREDIENTS

  • TAGLIAELLE: Use you favorite pasta brand and cook as per instructions
  • REAP SEED OIL: Use the best you can source. Olive oil is good as well.
  • BUTTER: Salted or unsalted butter to saute off the onions.
  • SUN-DRIED TOMATOES: I used a main brand preserved in oil. Use the oil as well to enrich the sauces’ flavor profile.
  • TOMATO PUREE
  • SWEET CHILLI SAUCE: use your favorite brand. I prefer a sauce with a bit more of a chilli kick!
  • SMOKED PAPRIKA
  • CAYENNE PEPPER
  • HOT CHILLI POWDER
  • DOUBLE CREAM: double cream adds the luxurious richness to the sauce. Feel free to swap out with a lighter whipping cream.
  • CHORIZO SAUSAGE: Most food stores stock chorizo sausage nowadays in some shape or form. I prefer mine smoked for an extra depth of flavor.
  • RED ONION: Organic red onion
  • CHICKEN BREAST: Organic free range is best
  • GARLIC: fresh crushed or minced
  • PARMASAN: finely grated is used as a binder and seasoning in the sauce.
  • PARSLEY: Fresh and finely chopped
  • CHICKEN STOCK: no need to be fancy here. A stock cube works.
  • LEMON JUICE: Fresh squeezed is best.
  • HOMEMADE CHILLI PICKLED RED ONION: My chilli pickled red onion adds another level of heat and a complexity to the sauce. Find the recipe here.
