When improvisation takes over in the kitchen, the best dishes are born! Faced with a bit of over-shopping, I saved my perishable ingredients by creating a rich, tomato-based pasta dish. Simple, quick, yet special – the perfect dinner idea!
Steps to Prepare
1. Chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes:
Dice the chorizo and sauté it in a hot pan.
Once the aroma fills the kitchen, add strips of sun-dried tomatoes.
2. Tomato-based sauce:
After a few minutes, stir in some tomato paste.
Add sugar snap peas, a pinch of chopped mint, and coriander.
Season with salt, pepper, and a hint of paprika powder.
3. Cheesy finish:
I found a small piece of soft cheese and melted it into the sauce for extra creaminess.
Top it off with grated Parmesan shavings before serving.
4. Pasta:
I paired it with bow-tie pasta, as it complements the sauce perfectly. (I think penne or spaghetti wouldn’t work as well here.)
A simple yet delightful dinner made from what I had on hand, no extra shopping needed. 😊
