Drain pasta and return to pan. Stir chorizo sauce and parsley through pasta. Add a pinch of rocket to guarnish the plate.
This penne with chorizo is all about contrast: smoky sausage, tender zucchini and sweet Mutti Cherry Tomatoes come together in a sauce with plenty of personality. A touch of chilli adds gentle heat, while rosemary brings an aromatic note that runs through every bite.
As the chorizo cooks, it releases its rich, savoury flavour into the pan. Mutti Cherry Tomatoes balance that intensity with their natural sweetness and juicy texture, gradually breaking down into a vibrant sauce that coats the penne without losing the character of the whole tomatoes.
Fast enough for a weeknight but full of bold Mediterranean-inspired flavours, this penne with chorizo and Cherry tomatoes needs little more than fresh parsley and a handful of rocket to finish. Serve it straight from the pan while the sauce is hot and glossy.
