Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over high.
- While pan heats, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, onions, peppers, chorizo, Cajun Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp and chorizo is cooked through.**
- Add stock powder, cream cheese, cream, and 1 cup (1 3/4 cups) water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add penne. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until penne softens and sauce thickens slightly. (TIP: If sauce thickens too quickly before penne cooks, add more water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
- While penne cooks, roughly chop spinach. (TIP: Place spinach in a bowl, then roughly chop using a pair of kitchen shears or scissors!)
- Remove pan from heat. Add spinach. Stir for 1 min, until spinach wilts.
- Divide pasta betwen bowls.

- Suggestions: Consider adding Parmesan cheese on top and using less liquid for a thicker sauce consistency.

- Ingredients: Several noted the chorizo came ground, not sliced as pictured; this didn't affect taste but surprised some.
