instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    2

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    3

    Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes. Break it up into small pieces with your spatula as it cooks.

    4

    Stir in the rinsed black beans, chopped jalapeño, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    5

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). To assemble, take a piece of pasta and fill it with the chorizo and bean mixture, then place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining pasta until the dish is filled.

    6

    Sprinkle cheese evenly over the filled pasta and cover the dish with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

    7

    After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

    8

    Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with sour cream if desired.
