Spaghetti with Spanish flavours

80g pack sliced chorizo
sausage
300g bag fresh spaghetti
20g pack flatleaf parsley
(a good handful)
2 red peppers
from a jar, in brine or oil
2 tbsp olive oil
50g finely grated fresh parmesan
plus extra to serve

Method

step 1
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).
step 2
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.
step 3
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.
step 4
Add the parsley and parmesan, toss well and splash in the pasta water, to moisten. Hand round extra parmesan at the table.
