A delightful pasta dish bursting with Mediterranean flavors, perfect for garlic enthusiasts.
Cook the penne pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a stir fry pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Ensure the garlic doesn't burn as it can turn bitter.
Add the diced green pepper and sliced red onion to the pan and cook until softened.
Cut the vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
Stir in the chorizo and black olives, cooking until the chorizo is heated through.
If using raw sausage, ensure it is fully cooked before proceeding.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sautéed mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
Season with salt and red pepper flakes, then garnish with parsley, feta cheese, parmesan cheese, and lemon zest.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
