Chorizo? What kind of chorizo? Spanish or Italian?

Hi, can you make this ahead of time?

Ok...Mexican style chorizo. I just wanted to make sure since it was being pared with pasta. There is Italian chorizo. I lived in Europe...an hour and a half from Italy. I was fortunate to be able to do grocery shopping there once a month.

Never heard of Italian chorizo. There are hot salamis but not chorizo.

Chorizo is typically either a fresh or dry-cured Mexican or Spanish ground pork sausage, I am not sure if there is an Italian style chorizo. This recipe calls for fresh chorizo, which would more likely be the Mexican style as Spanish style chorizo is dry-cured, like salami. You would typically find Mexican fresh chorizo in with the fresh meats... the Spanish version would probably be found near the cheeses and other dry-cured deli meats.
