Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 3 stalks green onion

  • 1 ½ pints cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh basil

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 9 ounces smoked chorizo sausage links, sliced

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages goat cheese

Directions

  1. Add 1 tablespoon salt to a large pot of water; bring to a boil. Add penne and olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, chop green onions: Cut green parts diagonally, and cut white parts into thin, round slices. Transfer to a bowl with the cherry tomatoes, basil, and vinegar.

  3. Place chorizo in a separate bowl. Chop goat cheese, then crush it and mix it in with the chorizo.

  4. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add chorizo-goat cheese mixture; stir until cheese is melted and pasta is coated. Then put the vegetables into the pasta and stir to combine.
