Mediterranean Chorizo Pasta ~ Rich Mediterranean flavors throughout this Pasta – serve warm or cold for dinner or lunch

We have never been huge Chorizo eaters. Simply because I never bought any, and I think we only had some once at a restaurant a few years ago.

I have since started to use Chorizo in my cooking, but will now have to say goodbye again as it is one of the no-no’s on my new diet. (diet meaning, health wise, not actually for losing weight).

All of us thoroughly enjoyed this Mediterranean Chorizo Pasta and I will highly recommend you to try this delicious recipe.
