Ingredients:  
1 pound fresh rigatoni pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more to garnish)
• 1 pound fresh chorizo (removed from casings)
• 1 yellow onion (peeled, diced)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 (28 ounce)can san marzano tomatoes (pureed)
• 1 cup freshly grated manchego cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Directions:
Directions:
1--In a very large pasta pot, bring 5 quarts water and 3 tablespoons salt to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until just al dente, about 1 minute less than the package directions. Occasionally give the pasta a stir so it doesn't stick together. Drain.

2--Meanwhile, put a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and then the chorizo. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the meat, until browned, about 2 minutes. Move the chorizo to one side of the pan, add the onion and a pinch of salt to the empty space, and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to get the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt as needed.

3--Add the cooked pasta to the pan, stirring it into the sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the extra-virgin olive oil and manchego. Garnish with more cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

4Tip: When draining the pasta, reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
