Making a flavorful meal for your family shouldn't be reserved for special occasions. This creamy chorizo pasta dinner is super simple to make and is perfect for a busy weeknight supper.
Cook pasta to al dente according to the directions on the box. Drain and set aside.
While you are boiling the water for the pasta, prep the other ingredients. The peppers and onions should be chopped to bite sized or smaller.
In a large pan, brown the chorizo over medium to medium-high heat. If there is excess grease, pour it off, but reserve a Tablespoon or two for cooking the vegetables.
Add the diced onions and peppers and cook until the onions are translucent and the peppers are cooked to your liking.
Drop the heat to medium-low and add the milk and cream cheese, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and a thick creamy sauce is formed.
Stir in the shredded cheese than add the pasta.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste and serve warm.
Leftover should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Notes
Feel free to use pepper jack cheese for more spice.
