Pasta with Chorizo and Tomato Sauce

Published: Oct 20, 2014 · Updated: Mar 11, 2021 by Mely Martínez

JUMP TO RECIPE

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”.

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Hunt’s Tomato Sauce and Latina Bloggers Connect

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.

    Muchas gracias tio Marcos. This came out really good. I was out of a lot of things so I googled pasta and Mexican chorizo and found this recipe. I used a good marinara sauce and a finely diced fresh patio tomato.but otherwise stuck exactly to the recipe. I had queso fresco and some good bulk chorizo from the local Mexican market. This is a keeper and I will nake it again. I was just looking for something for a quick meal. What a pleasant surprise.
