💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Cook chorizo first for 2-3 minutes before adding other ingredients to render fat and create a flavor base, as chorizo releases 15-20% of its weight in flavorful oils that will coat and season everything else.technique15-20% fat render
- ✓Add spinach in the final 5 minutes of baking because its high water content (90%) will release steam and prevent proper concentration of tomato flavors if added from the start.timing5 minutes final
- ✓Use canned San Marzano tomatoes crushed by hand rather than diced, as hand-crushing preserves more pectin and creates better sauce consistency while preventing watery separation during the 30-minute bake.ingredient
- ✓Cover the dish with foil for the first 20 minutes, then uncover for the final 10 minutes to allow moisture evaporation and concentrate flavors by approximately 25%.technique20 minutes covered, 10 uncovered
- ✓Let the dish rest 3-4 minutes before adding parmesan so the cheese doesn't immediately melt into the sauce but instead creates distinct creamy pockets that enhance texture contrast.timing3-4 minutes rest
