Cooking Steps
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
- When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, reserve a cup of cooking water then drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
NOTE: If you've chosen to add chicken, fry for 8-10 mins, add the chorizo for the final 3-4 mins of cooking time and remove from pan once cooked.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, deseed and slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Roughly chop the olives.
- Return the empty pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the garlic and bell pepper and fry for 2-3 mins.
- Add paprika and sun dried tomato paste and fry for 2 mins more.
- Mix the creme fraiche, stock and a splash of cooking water into the pasta.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the pasta between bowls or deep plates.
- Garnish with peppers, chorizo, cherry tomatoes and olives.
