Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti noodles, broken in half
5 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
½ tablespoon ground cumin
2 ½ teaspoons chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts in the oil until nicely browned on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add remaining oil to the skillet, and add the broken spaghetti. Cook, stirring constantly until spaghetti is browned. Drain off any excess oil, and add tomatoes and onion. Dice the chicken breasts, and return them to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Pour in water, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until pasta is tender, and water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Check towards the end, and add more water if necessary.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture into bowls to serve, and garnish with shredded cheese.

3 1/2 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced
10 ounces spaghetti
1 ounce flat leaf parsley (a good handful)
2 red peppers, from a jar (in brine or oil)

2 tablespoons olive oil

  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil, add the chorizo and peppers and plenty of black pepper.
  • Cook for a minute or so, until heated through and the juices are stained red from the paprika in the chorizo.
  • Scoop half a mugful of pasta water from the pan, drain the remainder and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan.
  • Add the parsley and parmesan, toss well and splash in the pasta water, to moisten.
