Servings: persons

2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 lb penne
black pepper, freshly ground
6 chorizo sausages, grilled
1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

1
Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. About 1 minute before the pasta is done, take about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid out of the pan before you drain the pasta. Reserve this liquid.
2
Meanwhile, chop the garlic cloves with the coarse salt and smash it into a paste. (This takes away any strong burn of raw garlic.) Mix the garlic with the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, tomatoes, pepper and oregano.
3
Toss the hot pasta into the lemon-garlic sauce. As you toss the pasta through, add some of the cooking liquid little by little until it forms a sauce, you probably won't need all of the pasta water. Mix in the cheese. Taste for seasoning, add a bit more salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
4
Slice the cooked sausage into bit size pieces and mix it into the pasta. Let the pasta sit covered for 5 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
5
Serve warm or at room temperature.
