Pasta with Chorizo and Tomato Sauce

This recipe has been in my family for years, and was passed down to me by my Uncle Marcos, who lives in Veracruz. He is now retired from the Mexican Navy, where he was a Frigate Captain, the equivalent of a Commander in the US Navy. He and my dear Aunt Nono are great cooks and an inspiration for me both in the kitchen and on this blog. I can still vividly remember the day that he came to my home carrying 2 large grocery bags from the market. He showed up and said: “Hola mija, I will be cooking for you today”.

He took charge of the kitchen like everyone from his family, with a passion for cooking. His mother and siblings were in the restaurant business for most of their life. Now, I am passing this family recipe down to my son. This dish is really easy to make and is very convenient when using the 100% Natural Diced Tomatoes from Hunt’s.
Many authentic Hispanic dishes call for the use of tomatoes, and Hispanic women are known for using fresh, natural, quality ingredients when they cook for their families.
