Instructions
In a high sided skillet or a sauce pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sautée the chorizo until the fat has rendered and the sausage is golden. Remove the chorizo to a bowl and drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the diced onions to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until they're soft and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté another 2 minutes.
Stir the tomato purée into the pan along with the dried oregano and whisk to coat the onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Pour in the passata and about 300ml boiling water and add the chorizo back to the pan. Add the rigatoni to the pan and stir well to coat the pasta. Bring it to a boil. Turn the pan down to a simmer and cover it with the pan lid. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce is thick.
Divide between bowls and top with the cheeses and some fresh basil if desired.
