03 Method

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain when pasta is done cooking.
Step 2

In a large skillet, brown chorizo over medium-high heat and break it up into pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add green bell pepper and cook until softened. Place chorizo and bell peppers into a large bowl and set aside.
Step 3

Return skillet to medium-high heat and melt butter. Whisk in the flour and cook it for about 30 seconds to cook off the raw flour taste. Add the milk and let thicken, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cheese and salt and stir until all the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
Step 4

Add chorizo and bell peppers back in, toss to incorporate.
Step 5

Carefully add the pasta into the cheese sauce mixture and stir to incorporate everything evenly.
Step 6

Divide into bowls and serve.
