Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Put a pan of water on over a high heat to boil. Meanwhile, snip the chorizo into strips with scissors, and chop the parsley and peppers (check for stray seeds first).
  • When the water is boiling briskly, add the spaghetti with a good measure of salt, stir and return to the boil. Cook according to pack instructions.
  • 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.
  • Hand round extra parmesan at the table.
