Ingredients

250 g of pasta which represents about half a pack
1 tbsp of olive oil
12 slices of chorizo
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
2 zucchinis
1 red pepper
20 thin asparagus
Salt to taste

Instructions

Cook your pasta as directed on the box. Drain and set aside.
Prepare and cut all your ingredients: Chop your onion and garlic, cut your zucchinis in thick slices and then in 4. Julienne your pepper. Trim the bottom of your asparagus if necessary and then cut in 3.
On medium/high heat, in a large skillet (the one you used for your pasta), sauté your chorizo for 3 minutes. The edges will start to crisp lightly.
Add in your onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until translucent, stir occasionally.
Add the zucchinis, pepper and asparagus. Add salt. Stir gently. Close the lid, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes.
Add in the pasta, toss well, close the lid again and cook for another 2 minutes.
Serve and add cheese to taste.
