Cooking Steps
Before starting, add 10 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 4: 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp spicy! Drain roasted red peppers, reserving liquid, then roughly chop. Halve tomatoes. Roughly chop parsley.
Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chorizo. Cook, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard half the excess fat, keeping remaining fat in the pan with chorizo.
