📝 Preparation Steps
1
Warm the pasta liquid & prep vegetables
Pasta, 170 g
2
Place the stock (or water) in a pot on medium-high heat or warm up in the microwave. Meanwhile, slice the onion and quarter the zucchini.

Brown the chorizo & saute the vegetables

Set a wok or saucier over medium-high heat and add the chorizo removed from the casing. Break apart with a potato masher and sear until browned, then transfer to a bowl. Keep as much fat in the pan as you can. Add the onion and zucchini to the pan and sauté for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Remove and add to the same bowl as the chorizo.

Simmer the pasta

6
Add the dried pasta to the pan, along with just enough stock to cover the pasta. It should come to a boil very quickly. Simmer the pasta until al dente and add more stock as needed if it reduces too fast before the pasta is done. In the end, the pasta should be cooked through, and the stock should be significantly reduced into a sauce-like consistency.

Combine everything together

Turn the heat to low. Add the milk and cornstarch slurry. Stir in until the sauce comes together. Stir in the cheeses until they have emulsified into the sauce and are thickened to your liking. Add the chorizo and vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Taste and adjust with salt. Serve with some cilantro over the top.
