Spicy Spaghetti Arrabbiata

Spicy Spaghetti Arrabbiata





















It has been a little time since my last post and I hope to add a few recipes to the blog over the next few weeks, I will start it off today with a tasty dish of pasta. Pasta tends to be a delicious part of my entree meals through out the month and my favourite types of pasta are Penne, Spaghetti and Linguine. I also tend to incorporate spice into my meals, now I know not everyone is a big fan of spicy food but I just love it. Those that have been to restaurants especially Italian ones have had or seen arrabbiata on the menu, which basically means spicy sauce. I decided to use spaghetti but any long strain of pasta would work, like linguine, fettuccine or angel hair. Then to bring in the heat I used a tomato sauce with chilies as well as chili flakes the amount in the recipe provides a decent amount of spice but use more or less depending on your taste buds. I also decided to go heavy on veggies but you can omit or even add more to the recipe as you like as for the ground meat I used pork because basically it was all I had on hand and worked great but give beef a whirl.

Chorizo Chickpeas Skillet Meal

Chickpea Recipes





















It has been awhile since my last post as at times life gets in the way of blogging but  it doesn't stop me from making delicious recipes. I am glad to be back blogging with what I found to be a delicious and healthy recipe to share with you all. There is just something about smoked chorizo that gets my mouth watering and when you add protein and fiber rich chick peas to the dish it packs it with a tonne of flavour. You will need to use a large skillet for the meal and make sure that the beer you use is a pilsner but an ale will work almost as well. I went with a faster root for the chickpeas and just got them from a can, you will just need to wash them thoroughly before adding them to the dish. When it comes to the simmering of the recipe it depends how saucy you enjoy your meals but a longer simmer will reduce the liquid and make it sparse and thick which is the way I prefer this dish to be.
The chorizo I chose to use was spicy as this is my fav but for those with milder taste buds can chose a non spicy sausage.
