How to cook it
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni until al dente, according to the package directions, then drain.
-
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Slice the chorizo and add it to the pan, cooking for 3 minutes, until it browns lightly and releases its paprika-red fat.
-
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and oregano, season with the salt and pepper, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
-
Toss the drained macaroni with the sauce and serve hot, with the grated cheese scattered on top; the single most-cooked Spanish children's dinner, and the catalog has had no pasta dish at all until now.
