Baked Penne With Chorizo


This is a fantastic Baked Penne with Chorizo. I used some fresh chorizo which are full of flavors and they tastes really good with the penne. I added the penne with mozzarella cheese after cooking the meat mixture, and topped it with some freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Hmmm…sounds like a good comfort food, doesn’t it?

    I like this!!! Can I substitute Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese with tasty cheese or parmesan because that's just what I have in fridge. And how many does this serve? I only need to serve 4. That sounds a lot! Thanks Angie!

    I liked this but the amount of Penne is way too much. I would take it down to 350g. And next time I won't drain so much of the tomato juice as the sauce needs it.

I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
