Method

  1. Cook the pasta in lots of water following pack instructions, with the stock cube and half the turmeric or saffron. About 7 mins before the pasta is cooked, tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until slightly crisp. Tip out some of the fat, then add the remaining turmeric or saffron, seafood, peppers and peas.
  2. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the stock. Tip the pasta back into the pan, add the chorizo and seafood mixture and a splash of the reserved stock, and heat through. Stir in most of the parsley.
  3. Serve in warm bowls, with the remaining parsley sprinkled on top.

    I thought as I cooked this it would be a disaster.It was fabulous.Orzo is a new find - my guy hates rice and 'pasta' but scoffed this down.Only added mushrooms instead of peas, an orange pepper (as well as jar red peppers) used saffron and some water.

    I really really wanted to like this, but it just tasted bland and like a very cheap version of paella.
