Indulge in the creamy, spicy goodness that will have you wanting seconds!
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through.
Add 1 diced onion, 1 diced bell pepper, and 3 minced cloves of garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Add in the cooked pasta, 2 cups of fresh spinach, and 0.5 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until well combined and the spinach has wilted.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan if desired.
