Easy One-Pot Chorizo Pasta Recipe – Quick & Flavorful Dinner

Ingredients:

Preparation mode:

👉 One-pot chorizo pasta is a quick, flavor-packed dinner where everything – smoky chorizo, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and spaghetti – cooks together in a single pan. It feeds six, takes about 30 minutes and leaves you with just one pot to wash.

🍳 How to Make One-Pot Chorizo Pasta

1. Fry the chorizo. Heat a large, deep pan or casserole over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 2–3 minutes until it releases its red, paprika-flavored oil

2. Add the vegetables. Stir in the garlic, peppers and button mushrooms and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring now and then, until they start to soften

3. Add the sauce and pasta. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, chilli flakes and red wine vinegar and stir. Add the spaghetti, then carefully pour in the boiling water and mix everything together

4. Simmer. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened. Stir from time to time so the pasta stays under the liquid and does not stick

5. Finish. Stir in three-quarters of the basil and season well with black pepper

6. Serve. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan and the rest of the basil

💡 Tips for the Best One-Pot Chorizo Pasta

• Break the spaghetti in half so it fits in the pan and cooks evenly.
• Stir every few minutes – one-pot pasta can catch on the bottom.
• Add a splash of extra water if the sauce gets too thick before the pasta is cooked.
• Use cooking chorizo (the soft kind) for the most flavor.

🍽️ Serving & Storage

Serve with a green salad or garlic bread. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days; loosen with a little water when reheating.
