Soy Chorizo Ragu

This is originally based on Donna Hay's Recipe but we've made it a few times (A,B,C) and it is feeling like our own.

Ingredients

Sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, microplaned
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 12 oz soy chorizo such as from Trader Joes, casing removed
• 2 sprigs oregano, leaves picked and chopped (or about 1 tsp dried)
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
• cracked black pepper
• 14.5oz/~400g can chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 cup red wine. (optional. See note)
• 1 tablespoons brown sugar

Other

• 2 to 3 servings linguine (around 1/4 to 1/3 lbs)
• 1 spiralized zucchini or spaghetti squash, or alternative
• burrata or buffalo mozzarella
• more chopped fresh oregano to garnish

Directions

Warm olive oil in pan and then add garlic. Cook until fragrant (30 seconds or so). Add soy chorizo and cook until warmed through, breaking up as you go. Add remaining sauce ingredients to the pan and cook to combine, about 5 minutes. Cook pasta according to directions reserving about 1/2 cup of the liquid when draining. Add drained pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Add reserved liquid as needed to help combine; about 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Turn off heat and add zucchini and stir to combine. Try not to overcook the zucchini.

Serve with sliced burrata or mozzarella and a sprinkle of fresh chopped oregano.

Wine Note

The original recipe calls for it and we've added it a few times but also skipped it a few times and it was still good.

Changes
