Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to boil and cook the penne according to the package directions (usually about 9 minutes) and drain. Set aside to cool.
- Bring a skillet or fry pan to medium-high heat and add the thinly sliced chorizo. Cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Let cool in the pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the red onion, cabbage, carrot, oregano, cilantro, piquillo peppers, and kalamata olives.
- Then, add in the cooked penne and fried chorizo including the rendered fat. Season with salt, black pepper, hot paprika, lemon juice, and olive oil. Toss well and serve.
Notes
- For a little added flavor feel free to add ¼ cup mayo for a creamy version and/or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.
