Prep time
20 mins
Ingredients
- Red Pepper: 2 red peppers from a jar, in brine or oil
- Parmesan: 50g finely grated fresh parmesan, plus extra to serve
- Spaghetti: 300g bag fresh spaghetti
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
- Parsley: 20g pack flatleaf parsley (a good handful)
- Chorizo: 80g pack sliced chorizo sausage
Directions
- 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 for 3 minutes.
- 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.
