Spaghetti with Spanish flavours
This vibrant dish transforms classic spaghetti into a bold, Spanish-inspired meal with smoky chorizo, sweet peppers, and fresh parsley lending bright contrast. The chorizo infuses the pasta with deep, savory richness while the wine deglazing adds a subtle acidity that ties everything together. Each bite delivers a satisfying chew from the al dente noodles, punctuated by the spicy, fatty punch of the sausage and the fresh herbal lift of the greens. It’s a simple yet flavorful weeknight dinner that feels like a taste of Spain without the fuss.

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.
