  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook until they start to release their oils and become slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the sliced red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes.

  4. Toss the cooked pasta with the chorizo and vegetable mixture in the skillet. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce cling to the pasta.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.

  6. Serve the pasta hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese and garnished with chopped parsley.
