Step 1
Start by bringing about 3 cups of lightly salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Once it’s boiling, add your pasta and cook it until it’s tender but still has a little bite, usually around 11 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the marinara sauce along with the diced tomatoes and give it a good stir. Add the soy chorizo next, breaking it up and mixing everything together until it’s evenly combined and heated through, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the oregano, cayenne pepper, and paprika, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently while the pasta finishes cooking—about 8 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil at the end. Once the pasta is ready, drain it and spoon the sauce over the top. Finish with a little salt and black pepper to taste, and you’re all set!
