Wash and trim the broccoli, then separate the stalks into small florets. Peel and finely dice the broccoli stalks. Peel and finely dice the onion. Slice the chorizo. Heat a wok and fry the chorizo ​​slices. Then remove it from the pan, add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the frying fat in the wok, and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Stir in the tomato paste and fry briefly. Add the diced or chopped tomatoes along with their juice, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and vegetable stock. Season to taste with oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the pasta, bring to a boil, and cook covered for about five minutes. Add the broccoli, cover, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Rinse the basil, shake dry, and finely chop the leaves. Stir half of the grated cheese into the pasta and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the fried chorizo ​​slices and chopped basil. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve with the remaining grated cheese.
