1. Remove Chorizo from casings and cook in the lard for 3½ minutes. Break apart with 2 forks. Add onion. Cook, covered, 2 minutes. Drain off excess fat.

2. In a large covered casserole cook the macaroni in the water for about 8 minutes or until the macaroni is tender and the water is absorbed, stirring several times. If needed, add more water. Place macaroni in colander to drain.
