Orecchiette literally means “little ears”, and this bowl of pasta is like music to ours! Said pasta is cooked to ‘al dente’ perfection, then tossed with a chorizo-studded sauce, complete with a sprinkle of sharp Parmesan. Tangy semi-dried tomatoes add the finishing touch.

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Thinly slice zucchini into rounds.
• Finely chop brown onion and garlic.
• Roughly chop capsicum.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook zucchini,
onion and capsicum, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl.
• Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
Cook orecchiette over high heat until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop mild chorizo.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chorizo,
tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
• When the pasta is ready, reserve some pasta water(see ingredients), then drain
pasta and return to saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Add garlic and tomato paste to pan with chorizo. Cook until fragrant,
1 minute.
• Add stock concentrate, reserved pasta water and the butter. Cook until slightly
reduced, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in the cooked pasta and veggies. Add half the Parmesan cheese. Toss to
coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide chorizo pasta between bowls.
• Top with semi-dried tomatoes (see ingredients) and remaining Parmesan to
serve. Enjoy!
