1 Red pepper
Frying pan /skillet
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic in a skillet. Heat the pan to medium heat until the garlic starts to smell nice.
30 milliliter Olive oil
Add the red onion and fry the onions until the onions become translucent. Add the garlic and onion mixture to the saucepan.
220 gram red onion
Saucepan
Add the tomato frito and tomato puree to the saucepan and stir well. Lower the heat, make sure the temperature in the pan is not too high because the tomato puree burns quickly while you fry the rest of the vegetables.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. The pasta that goes best with this dish is Penne or Pipe Rigate so that the chorizo can crawl into the pasta for the most delicious taste experience.
800 gram pasta
Frying pan/ skillet
Fry the chorizo in a little bit of olive oil, the chorizo itself is already quite fat so the oil is only needed so that the meat does not immediately stick to the pan. Add the chorizo into the saucepan and stir well.
450 gram mild beef chorizo
Fry the zucchini in ½ tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle the zucchini with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir frequently and stop cooking when the zucchini turns light golden brown. Place the zucchini in the saucepan and stir well.
300 gram Zucchini
Bake the bell pepper in ½ tablespoon of olive oil, the bell pepper is ready when the skin starts to wrinkle a bit and slightly discoloured. Place the peppers in the saucepan and stir well. You are now done with the frying pan, so it can be rinsed and put in the dishwasher.
150 gram Bell pepper
Saucepan
Now that everything is fried and in the saucepan, it's time to season the sauce. Add 1 tbsp smoked paprika (regular mild paprika is also good, but once you've tasted the smoked paprika you won't want anything else), ½ tbsp oregano, 1 tsp chilli powder, ¾ tsp salt and ¾ tsp pepper. Stir well and heat the sauce until it just starts to boil. Add the water in about half a tea cup until the sauce is well mixed with the water, adding all the water. Let it cook for about 2-5 minutes.
1 tablespoon Smoked paprika powder, ½ tablespoon Oregano, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 400 milliliter water
Endresult
As we say in Dutch: eet smakelijk!
Did you taste it?
Add more salt/pepper or water to taste if necessary. The longer the sauce sits, the spicier it gets, so wait a while before adding extra chilli powder until the sauce has set.
