Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 cup of onions diced
  • ½ cup of green pepper diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic diced
  • 7 oz chorizo
  • 1 lb of ham steak
  • 1 tbsp of garlic powder
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • 2 pack of sazon goya without Annatto
  • 24 oz Ragu original sauce
  • 4 cups of water
  • 16 oz of Ziti pasta
  • Parmesan cheese optional for serving

Instructions

  • Dice your onions, green pepper, and garlic. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and once hot add your diced onions, green pepper, and garlic and saute for about five minutes.
  • While your sofrito is cooking, slice your chorizo into about ¼ inch slices and cut your ham into 1 inch bite size pieces.
  • Once your sofrito is cooked, add your chorizo and ham and saute for another five minutes.
  • After you have cooked your ham and chorizo, add your Ragu sauce and 4 cups of water along with garlic powder, salt, sazon goya, and dry bay leafs. Bring this to a boil and then add your pasta.
  • Boil your pasta for 12 minutes, then cover the pot with a lid and cook for another 5 minutes. (You can add one more cup of water if you want your pasta to be soft. I prefer it more al dente) Serve and enjoy!
