SPANISH STYLE PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Over a medium heat, fry the chorizo, onion and oil – for around 8 minutes stirring often so the onion nicely caramelise

  Add in the garlic and smoked paprika – cook for a further few minutes, then tip in the beans,  vegetable stock, tomato paste, pepper and courgette keep to a simmer stirring everything together, leave to cook for 5 minutes or so  

  Add your defrosted fish pieces on top of the stew and cover the pan with a lid and leave the fish to steam  

  Toast the almonds and serve with the parsley on top of the fish, we served ours with olives and a chunk of fresh bread. 

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, in separate pans fry the bacon and chopped mushrooms in a little oil for a few minutes as the pasta cooks. 

  Put the Philadelphia in to a bowl with 3 tbsp of milk and the parmesan/pecorino cheese and half of the bacon bits, and mix together well. Then add the mushrooms and stir through.

  Once the pasta is cooked drain it off into a colander, keeping some cooking water aside for later, then tip it back in to the pan and add the cheese mixture. Stir well together to combine and heat everything through. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the cooking water. Then serve, adding the chopped bacon bits and an optional garnish of parsley.
