Method

  1. Put the oil, shallots and a good grind of pepper in a large, cold frying pan. Place over a low heat and slowly cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until softened.
  2. Add the chorizo to the shallots, turn up the heat (but not too much) and colour a little. When the orange oil is released into the pan, add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt. Stir over a medium heat - the tomatoes should literally melt in about 10 mins. If the sauce is not bubbling, turn up the heat a little. Add 100ml water and bring to the boil. Gently simmer for a few mins more.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Add the prawns to the sauce, bring back to the boil and cook for 1 min until the prawns change colour. Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce with the spring onion whites. Cook and stir for 1 min. Serve sprinkled with the spring onion greens.

    This was nice enough, but I expected it to have more depth of flavour.

    One of the nicest pasta dishes I have made, fantastic flavors and so easy to put together. I have made it a few times now and it is definitely a winner in our house. Even if you don't have or are not a fan of prawns just swap them for something else I am sure it will be just as delicious. This evening I did a variation on the theme because I didn't have any prawns in, but I added artichoke hearts and some fresh basil & oregano, not quite as good as having prawns but nevertheless pretty tasty.

    Added half tsp of smoked paprika which really lifted it above the average tomatoey chorizoy pasta meal. Spot on!

    As others have said, this is a very good recipe. I thought the chorizo would overpower the prawns, but it is complementary. I added a teaspoon of anchovy for richness, and some sweet paprika as the sauce simmered down, and then some chilli oil to the cooked pasta. Very rich and filling!

    This is full of flavours with so few ingredients. I used tinned tomatoes and flat leaf parsley as i didn't have spring onions.... And added a little cooking water from the pasta. A total winner, will make again and again.

    I liked the recipe a lot but wonder whether tinned tomatoes would have given more flavour (at least at this time of year). It would be a lot cheaper too!

    Delicious and easy. I added a little smoked paprika to give extra depth of flavour, and a small amount of sugar as tomatoes at this time of year are not very red or flavourful. Worked beautifully.

    Really lovely. A nice simply pasta dish with oodles of flavour. I just used a regular onion and not shallots or spring onions, I also added some garlic at the start and garnished with basil. Will definitely be doing this again!

    Great taste to this sauce and good for using up tomatoes that are going a bit soft. I actually used the same amount of ingredients (prawns and chorizo) but half the tomatoes and had a much richer, thicker sauce for the pasta. Delicious.
