Step 1

Cook pasta to al dente per package directions, draining once done.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chorizo and onion and cook for 5-8 minutes breaking up the meat as you stir. Continue to cook, stirring regularly until the meat is cooked through and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Sprinkle the meat mixture with the flour and creole seasoning and stir to combine. Cook for 60-90 seconds, then add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and rotel. Whisk the sauce until smooth and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Immediately reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Then stir in the cheese, and season with salt to taste.

Step 5

Add the pasta and toss to coat. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
