Tips
Stir occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add pikantost off heat or at the very end to avoid excessive melting or separation.
Good to Know
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Do not freeze as texture of pasta will degrade.
Chop vegetables and chorizo the day before. Store separately in the refrigerator.
Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
Common Mistakes
Do not skip the initial browning step; cooking onions and carrots with oregano develops flavor.
Do not add pikantost while pasta is actively boiling; stir it in gently just before serving to avoid curdling.
